Taber is famous for its corn, and its sugar beets and potato industry.
So, just how do you cash in on all of that?
The Town of Taber and the Canadian Badlands tourism association think they have found an answer to that question — an agricultural interpretive centre.
Taber Mayor Ray Bryant said the idea is still in its infancy, and added work is under way to determine if it would be a workable idea for the community.

The M.D. of Taber is issuing several claims under the Southern Alberta Disaster Recovery Program for its citizens, due to the heavy rains earlier this year, as the M.D. has made a claim for itself as well.
M.D. infrastructure has felt the wrath of Mother Nature to estimates anywhere between $500,000 to $700,000, as final numbers are likely to be finalized in a couple of weeks.

Last Friday at about 2:45 p.m., residents in  Taber’s northwest area smelt something a little foul.
As it turned out, a 60 millimetre gas link had been struck and severed, which created a considerable gas leak. Residents nearby the leak were evacuated, as Taber Emergency Services crews and ATCO Gas staff attended to the leak. Precautionary evacuations south and west of the incident also took place.
Mike Bos, the acting fire chief for Taber Emergency Services, said crews on site made the right call when evacuations were ordered.

Alberta producers with cropland affected by the heavy spring rains will soon have access to the recently-announced $450 million federal-provincial funded AgriRecovery relief program, intended to help farmers take immediate steps to protect and restore damaged cropland.
Amounting to $30 per acre in assistance for affected cropland, Alberta’s slice of the eligible payout to producers is $42.1 million, and will be administered through the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC).
