Weld County Was One Of The Top 10 Agricultural Counties In The Nation. “Colorado’s 8th Congressional District is a hub for agriculture. Weld County leads the state in agricultural production and is one of the top 10 agricultural counties in the nation. Both Weld and Adams counties are the heart of food processing and transportation in Colorado. Adams County makes 1/3 of Colorado’s gasoline, half the diesel, 1/3 of the jet fuel at Denver International Airport, and 90% of the asphalt for the state. Production in our district helps keep the rest of Colorado fed and moving.” [Congressman Gabe Evans, Agriculture and Production, accessed 10/27/25]
