Answer:
Hey Joel thanks for your question. Underground feeder and branch circuit cable can be used in agricultural buildings as stated in 547.5(A). It is not allowed to be used as service-entrance cable as stated in 340.12(1) or where subject to physical damage as stated in 340.12(10). The equipment must also be suitable, with no openings, as stated in 547.5(C)(1). Depending on what you mean by "farm equipment maintenance" other requirements could apply such as Article 511.
