About this listen
Grains on Tap is back with a new episode.
With Parliament deep into a busy sitting and major decisions ahead for Canada’s grain sector, the policy landscape is shifting fast. From uncertainty in key export markets, to infrastructure pressures at home, to the upcoming 2026 CUSMA review, grain farmers are facing a pivotal moment for long-term competitiveness.
In this episode, we sit down with Member of Parliament Emma Harrison, a third-generation farmer who was recently elected to represent Peterborough, Ontario. Emma shares her journey from growing up on a family farm in Selwyn Township to taking her seat in the House of Commons, bringing a grounded perspective shaped by real on-farm experience.
We explore her transition into federal politics, her work on the Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee, and the issues she believes are most important for producers today. From trade uncertainty and research funding to rural leadership and support for farm families, Emma offers candid insights on the challenges and opportunities ahead for Canada’s grain sector.
So, pour yourself a cold one and tune in as we explore the policies shaping Canadian grain farming, right here on Grains on Tap.
