AB3 – BEETLE BANK

The AB3 Beetle Bank option pays £764/Ha

A beetle Bank has been shown time and time again to have huge benefits for wildlife in an arable landscape. It is a simple concept that involves creating a slightly raised area of tussocky grass so that beneficial insects and spiders have a place to survive throughout the year. Our mix of grasses is ideal for this purpose and it can be broadcast or drilled onto the bare soil.

Available in 20kg bags (1Ha)
