Season 2 | Episode 2: Senator Todd Lewis

Grains on Tap is back with a new episode!

As we approach the end of the federal election, the stakes for Canadian grain farmers continue to rise — from tariffs imposed by China, to uncertainty in the U.S. market, to domestic policies such as the carbon tax and capital gains tax increase.

To break it all down, we’re joined by recently appointed Senator Todd Lewis, a fourth-generation grain farmer from Saskatchewan and longtime agriculture advocate who served as President of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and Vice-President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

In this episode, Senator Lewis reflects on four decades of farming and ag policy, his transition into the Senate, and why infrastructure, trade stability, and a strong voice for farmers in Ottawa are more important than ever. From labour disruptions and global trade risks to farmland succession and the future of ag policy, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the upper chamber — and to this conversation.

So, pour yourself a cold one and tune in as we explore what’s at stake this election and beyond for Canadian grain farmers, right here on Grains on Tap.
