A brief history of how DSIR Grasslands operated as a plant breeding institute for New Zealand pastoral farming is presented, and this perspective shows how the present situation has been shaped whereby cultivars are now developed under contract to the forage division of AgResearch. A hypothetical cultivar development programme is detailed to show the mechanics of the Cultivar Development and Maintenance Unit (CDMU) operation. The role of CDMU in the future is discussed along with the continuing pressure for white clover seed production area in Canterbury. Keywords: buried seed, CDMU, cultivar development, plant variety rights, seed industry
