"The Iowa Department of Natural Resources stated the spill occurred on March 11, after a valve to an above ground storage tank was left open overnight. The investigation is on-going."

Perhaps, left open by damned kids or a nasty neighbor!

Someone talking out their hat. Liquid nitrogen fertilizer is probably NH3, or better known as “ Ammonia”.

Or by a careless or incompetent employee of the company that owns the storage tank in question, which is . . . um, not mentioned in this particular "news" story.

Understand how the world works, people.

“ Meth heads?”

Maybe. 15-20 years ago, there was a series of thefts at fertilizer supply tanks attributed to meth makers.
