Economy

Standard is surrounded by fertile farmland. In addition to the grain industry, there is a thriving local poultry operation and a large greenhouse business nearby. A large employer in the district is the Husky Oil Plant.

Agrium has a liquid fertilizer manufacturing plant in the village. The oil & gas industry has encouraged several companies such as Gene's Oilfield Services, Cal's Construction, Andrus Transport to set up business here in the village to service this sector of the economy.

As well as local grocery and dry goods stores, Standard also boasts a hotel, coffee shop, treasury branch, accounting firm, service station, confectionary and hair dressers as well as several other commercial enterprises.
