La loi sur les grains du Canada de 1971 conservait les objectifs des lois précédentes mais certaines parties étaient révisées pour tenir compte de l'évolution de la situation. Le changement le plus marqué concernait les grades de blé roux de printemps. Les appellations «blé de force du Manitoba» et «blé du Nord-Manitoba», synonymes de la haute qualité du blé roux de printemps pendant plus de 70 ans, étaient remplacées par «Canada, de l'Ouest».
