I'm guessing the water table is not higher than the buried water line.
If you squeeze the pipe enough to stop the flow, I would expect the squeezed area to fail within a short time. Will some type of compression fitting clamp to your poly pipe? If yes, you might be able to cut the line and quickly slip an open valve over the well end, clamp down the compression fittings, and then close the valve to shut off the flow of well water.

Maybe get a quote for what it would cost to hire the job done.
