A 30" planer is definitely in the industrial category. Even then it is rare. Would a wide belt sander suit your purposes? Fitted with a course sanding belt, they can be quite aggressive in removing material - although obviously not as aggressive as a planer. Several companies make what they call a 16/32. It's a 16" belt with an open end so that you can run wider material and sand up to 32" using two passes. Even those machines are pricey, but much cheaper than an equivalently sized planer. If this is something you'll need to do only occasionally, you can sometimes rent time on a commercial shop's machine.

My local woodworker shop will plane large glued up boards for me. Try a cabinet maker in your area. They are not likely to let you use theirs due to liability problems.
