29. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural
counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total
market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and
spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must
recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with -long standing agricultural
practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the
incentives which attract urbardwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness,
wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without
neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly
be gone forever.
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long established agricultural
practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well -run agricultural
activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving
farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor
from animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes;
hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of
pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice
for agricultural producers to utilize an accumulation triaultural machinery and supplies to
assist in their agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials
often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section -35 3.5-
102, C.R.S., provides tha an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private
nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that
are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production.
Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to
assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential
development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents mudtza:they
cannot take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an
adjudicated right to the water.
Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size
(twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700)
miles of state and County roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be
served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints
more than on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all
emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually
provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies.
County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of
surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions
to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas,
in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be
more self-sufficient than urban dwellers.
People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting.
Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps
and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sandburs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and
livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not
only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood. (Department of Planning
Services)
