So, the only material in enough volume to give such a huge bang (and one with a history of explosions) is the ammonium nitrate stored in the ‘fertilizer plant west of office’.

So how are they receiving this material?

Options:
1: There appears to be a rail spur running just to the west of the building.
2: They could be trucking it in.
That many tons, especially with such a small crew (only 8?), it had better be automated.

How are they off loading this material?
Can we see any kit? That may give us a clue.

How are they selling it?

We are talking volume shipments to farmers.

Well, when in doubt, lets go to the Daily Mail and see what they can add. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2310825/West-Texas-fertilizer-plant-explosion-leaves-dead-100-injured.html Here's a picture of the owner: Owner: Donald Adair has owned the West Fertilizer Co. for around seven years So he could answer a lot of questions about how they were actually setup.
