Why would a dairy farm have the necessary components and potential to blow itself up?

I met a man who was planning to invest $10 million to build a huge dairy farm (about 12K head, as I recall). Due to EPA and state regulations, he was also building a huge "digester" for all the cow waste, to to turn it into fertilizer. Part of the plan also would collect all the methane from that, and use it to power the whole operation.

I would guess such a massive dairy as this one in Texas probaly also

yes. i’ve read a lot about that exact process. that would decrease explosion risk, right? because the methane would be very efficiently burned by the digester?
