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 with another episode!
With parliamentarians set to return home over the summer months, key decisions are still unfolding that could shape the future of Canada’s grain sector, from rising tariffs and aging infrastructure to legislation that could limit future trade deals.
Joining us this week is Member of Parliament Randy Hoback, a longtime advocate for agriculture and international trade. Representing Prince Albert since 2008, Hoback brings a unique perspective as a former farmer, equipment manufacturer rep, and past Chair of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association.
In this episode, Hoback shares stories from his journey through grassroots advocacy to Parliament Hill, reflects on Canada’s shifting relationships with the U.S. and China, and weighs in on where global trade is headed, including his take on Bill C-202 and the urgent need to modernize export infrastructure.
So, pour yourself a cold one and tune in as we sit down with a key voice for farmers in Ottawa, right here on Grains on Tap.
