Does anyone know what classification we would have to use for a plant that stores bulk fertlizer and also has silos and augar systems to load farm equiptment. I know the ferilizers are highly corrisive but do not know if we have to treat is as flamable also as I'm sure there will be some dust from the conveyer system and the augers.

Do you have access to the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)? (You should - it's an OSHA requirement.)
I have zero experience with farm applications, so I can't help as much as I would like. I did check a few fertilizer MSDS online and was quite surprised to find that those I found all had zero fire hazard. You now know the limit of my fertilizer experience, so obviously I wouldn't put too much store by it.
If you can post a copy of the MSDS relevant to your OP I will do my best to help you analyze it. I'm sure others more experienced than I will help too.
