Meet Peter Boddy from R Boddy & Sons Cattle Farm
Peter Boddy is a 4th generation beef cattle farmer in Woodside, Gippsland. His family have partnered with the Gibsons family for more than 50 years, and Peter has used our Revive recycled compost product in conjunction with lime on his land for the last 6 years.
WHAT MATTERS TO PETER
“Our business is selling Weaner calves. The more we can feed them in the 6-9 months we have them, the better they are. We used to get cracking in our soils and crickets would come out of the cracks.”
THE FIX
Our agronomy team worked with Peter to test his soil and develop a plan to tackle the high acidity that was preventing moisture retention, causing cracking and poor pasture performance. We recommend a combination of lime along with our unique Revive compost solution to get Peter’s pastures back to a healthy yield to support the essential early growth period of his livestock.
Peter has committed to using Revive consistently because it’s both natural and affordable, and has been more cost effective than using super.
“I believe that Revive is making our land healthier which makes our cattle healthier. We are acidic here and it’s helped straighten that up… healthy soils grow grass.”
PARTNERING WITH GIBSONS GROUNDSPREAD
“You don’t change what works. We get great service, we get all our soil tests done. I couldn’t compare them as we’ve never needed to use anyone else.”
You can't predict the weather but you can be sure about us
