Leading by Example: Camm Agricultural Group Calls on Industry to Feed a Mob for Rural Aid
A meaningful initiative between the Camm Agricultural Group and Rural Aid has come to a successful close, with proceeds from the sale of fifty head of cattle helping fund critical support for farming families across Australia.
The cattle, which were inducted and fed at the Camm Group’s Wonga Plains Feedlot at Bowenville in February, were then processed externally. Camm Agricultural Group donated the feed, animal health and freight contributions for the mob of cattle to Rural Aid, enabling the charity to continue its vital work in rural communities.
Camm Agricultural Group CEO Bryce Camm said the initiative was a practical and meaningful way to support those in need across regional Australia.
“After operating in rural Australia across four generations, our family intimately understands the trials and tribulations of life on the land.”
“We see this as a great opportunity to offer a hand up, not a handout to those who have faced the challenges that mother nature can throw at our livelihoods on the hand.”
“Our family has always held the mantra that the best outcomes are achieved when we give back to the communities in which we are invested.”
“I hope this inspires other beef community to think about how we can all contribute to those facing adversity.”
Rural Aid CEO John Warlters said the Camm Group’s donation would have a lasting impact.
“This is support that goes beyond words, it translates into direct help for farming families who are doing it tough,” Mr Warlters said.
“Initiatives like this show what’s possible when agriculture steps up for its own. We’re incredibly grateful to the Camm team for their leadership and generosity.”
Camm Agricultural Group operates eight properties across Queensland, turning off 90,000 cattle annually. Its recently expanded Wonga Plains Feedlot now has a capacity of 25,000 head, reflecting the company’s long-term investment in sustainable beef production.
As the initiative concludes, Mr Camm encouraged others across the livestock sector to get involved where they can.
“Everyone in agriculture has something to offer,” he said. “Whether it’s livestock, logistics, or support services, it all adds up to a stronger, more connected rural Australia.”
