A scheme for vegetable production (4)
I believe the answer is:
plot
'a scheme' is the definition.
(I know that plot is a type of scheme)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plot that I've seen before include "... of story, family ..." , "Secret plan; graph" , "Conspiracy, secret plan" , "Scheme; graph" , "Scheme or small piece of land" .)
