This paper documents the thinking and activities undertaken by a group of dairy farmers charting their own destiny with the assistance of science and industry knowledge. Examples are given of how the group has identified on-farm issues that have no single answer and how they have worked towards resolving these. Challenges for science working with farmers and farmer response to science are noted. Keywords: clover, economics, environment, quality assurance, study group
