Grains on Tap is not your typical policy podcast. We’re opening the doors of Parliament Hill, sitting down with the powerhouses of Canadian agriculture and policymaking. We plan to chat with the movers and shakers in agriculture policy, ranging from Members of Parliament and Senators to government relations professionals, to bring you an inside look into everything happening inside the good old Ottawa bubble. And here’s the twist: we’re doing it over some great craft beer. As we explore agriculture policy, we’ll also be raising a glass to the growers and brewers from across the country.
Whether you’re a fourth-generation farmer, a policymaker navigating the halls of Parliament Hill, or just someone curious about the heartbeat of agriculture in Ottawa, you’re in the right place. So grab your favorite beer, kick back, and let’s cultivate a deeper understanding of the policies that shape our fields—on Grains on Tap.

Grains on Tap is back for Season 2!
Since the end of the last season in December, things have dramatically changed in Ottawa. From the proroguing of Parliament and Prime Minister Trudeau stepping down, to the widespread threat of tariffs from the new U.S. administration, to the swearing in of a new Prime Minister and the start of a federal election.
We have a lot to discuss and to kick things off, we’re joined by Senator Mary Robinson — a sixth-generation farmer from Prince Edward Island and former President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture — who brings a unique agricultural lens to the upper chamber.
In this episode, Senator Robinson shares her journey from the family farm to the Senate, and weighs in on key issues impacting our sector — including mounting trade tensions with the U.S. and China, the road ahead with the carbon tax and much more. With deep agricultural roots and a sharp policy lens, she brings another producer voice to the table at a pivotal time for the sector.
So, pour yourself a cold one and settle in for another conversation about the intersection of agriculture and politics, right here on Grains on Tap.
