#CelebrateAg in October

October is Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan.

The designation shows off the work being done by farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses who produce high quality, sustainable food in our province.

Agriculture Minister David Marit said the industry is a cornerstone of the province.

“You can’t celebrate this amazing industry without acknowledging the people who make the industry great. Through a combination of experience and cutting-edge technology, Saskatchewan producers and agri-businesses are building and protecting the agriculture sector in the province for generations to come, which is certainly worth celebrating,” Marit said.

Canary Biofuels has qualified for a $1.7-million tax credit under Alberta’s Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit program for constructing a cold press oilseed crushing plant in Lethbridge. The company is investing $18 million in the project that is expected to create 40 permanent and 25 temporary jobs, process 200,000 tonnes of seed per year and produce value-added products such as canola oil and meal. This is just the latest example of how the province is attracting job-creating investment to diversify Alberta’s economy.
