The silage was grown, harvested and baled at East Gippsland Water’s Bruce’s Track property, near Swan Reach.
The site acts as a major facility for the storage and reuse of recycled water, which is used to irrigate hay-producing pasture.
It is part of a 479-hectare area managed for sustainable water reuse.
