It's the ammonium perchlorate, that's used in the propellant. If they wanted to grow crops they'd use nitrate ( nitrogen)

Yes but they haul quantities as large as this in much safer ways. The craft was not designed to carry a load like that safely, which is illegal everywhere so the USCG got to seize it and sink it. Maybe it was just a large scale farm trying to save money (doubt), but it's shady regardless.
