Does the outlet in the barn run off the same power box as your home? If so you could look into powerline extenders to solve the issue.

I'm not sure if it uses the same power box. The electric line runs from the electric company pole to a box on a pole in my yar. From that box an eletrical line runs to the house and another line runs to the barn. I guess I could call the electric coop that services my area abd ask them about adding a powerline extender. The box on the pole is locked by the electric company.
