Agriculture Industry

Strong Agriculture and Agriculture Processing Centre

A thriving centre for value-added agricultural processing, with tremendous future growth opportunities, complements the Region's historical roots in mixed farming.

The agri-food industry grew by 8.4 % over the past decade. This far outstripped the Canadian average of -1.1%.

90% of the land in Red Deer County is dedicated to agriculture production. The land has deep, fertile, black soils; reliable surface water and ground water resources; and a favourable growing season.
