I’m very pleased to announce that Dairy Innovation West (DIW) has qualified for the Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit program by building Canada's first state-of-the-art milk concentration plant, right here in Alberta! Through these kinds of tax incentives and advantages, our government is ensuring that Alberta continues to be the premier destination for investments in agriculture and agri-processing.

Might not agree with everything that @PremierScottMoe and his party does but taking the carbon tax off our natural gas bills is greatly appreciated. Saving $475 per month on our heating bill. 👌 #AgTwitter
