Abstract
This chapter reviews how farmers in Australia gain information and make decisions about their rainfed farming systems. It examines the roles of consultants, farmer groups and decision support systems (DSS) in assisting farmers as their systems adjust in response to changes in their external environment. A specific DSS, Yield Prophet®, is discussed in terms of its development in conjunction with two farming systems groups and their consultants.
