I think you have it right @babsbag. Leash her and walk her around away from the field and fence. That should set in her mind that the entire outside world isn't going to bite her. From there hopefully you can get her closer to the field. Not sure how you get her to the safe edge of the "warning lane" distance to the fence though. I wonder if a shock collar with tonal warning that you control would help with that. When you near the fence (once she is willing to get within a thousand feet of it!) hit the warning tone (skipping the shock button of course) and then walk parallel to it so she maybe learns there is something there she doesn't want to approach. Intentionally dip a bit closer to the fence now and then and hit the warning, then retreat, continuing down the fence line.
Or not since I've never had to deal with this.
Too bad Mia can't just sit her down and explain things to her in dog language!
