Crossword Genius

In the country, business with noisy members (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

farms

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in the country business' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'with noisy members' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'noisy' becomes 'f'.
'members' becomes 'arms' (arm is a kind of member).
'f' put next to 'arms' is 'FARMS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for farms that I've seen is " Works the land".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
