Taber's economy was reinvigorated in the early 1900's with the development of extensive irrigation across southern Alberta. The irrigation allowed for crops to be grown in the region without fear of drought. The region boasts high heat units and frost free days as well as provides convenient access to lucrative markets and the opening of the vegetable canning plant was the start of the Agri-food processing industry in the community.

Some prominent businesses in the Agri-food processing industry have already set up shop in the surrounding region including Lantic Inc., Lamb Western, Prairie Gold, McCain Foods and Frito-Lay.
