You could dig a little swale to bring the water to the surface, and put some 4 to 6" field stones in it to keep it from washing out. That way you won't have to extend your tile out past the downhill side of the barn and then be running equipment over it or having a tile with 1" of cover.
Do you feel like mud getting into the stone will be a problem? Does grass grow well and not wash out currently up hill of the proposed trench spot? I guess I'm envisioning the rutting at the barn where it flattens out suddenly, not leading up to it.
