Can you add a second main breaker box to control breakers in the out buildings on a farm?
yes. But this is not a handyman level project. It is suggested you "Call a pro." What you're looking for is not another "main breaker" but a "sub-panel" that is fed by a "feeder" cable from the main panel. Have your electrician calculate the load you'll need in the out-building, then design and install a new feeder circuit and sub-panel for it.

How much does it cost to install distribution panel box with 20 circuit breaker space?
The answer to this question depends upon the amperage that you want the panel to carry. Most new installations in new homes these days use a 200 amp panel with 42 circuit spaces. In Canada, installed by a certified electrician, a 200 amp service complete with permits taken out and inspection by the electrical inspection department costs about $2000.00.
Breaker box is full?
You have two options, one is a complete service change. The average house service these days is 200 amps 42 circuits. The second option is to install a sub panel off the existing service. Depending on how many circuits you need will govern the size the sub panel. Here is where it gets tricky. Two side by side single pole breakers or one two pole breaker will have to be removed from the original service panel and replaced with a new two pole breaker. The size of this breaker will be governed by the total load of the new sub panel. The wire from the new sub panel to the two pole breaker is also governed by the load of the sub panel. As an electrician I would recommend that you not do it yourself but get a qualified electrician to do it for you. He would (should) take a permit out for the job and get it inspected.

Whatever the market will bear. If a guy is charging too much, get someone else. The real issues are things like accessability and how much space is in your breaker panel and how large is the electric service into the house. If your breaker panel is full and you need more space the electrician may need to put in a larger panel. Too many questions, not enough information to answer your original question. Sorry.

Can you put breaker panel in a bedroom?
Yes. But the NEC requires that your first disconnect be installed as close as practical to where the service enters the building. So if the bedroom isn't where the service enters the home, you will have to install a stand-alone disconnect where it does and then wire to your panel.
