Crop protector (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scarecrow

'crop protector' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scarecrow that I've seen before include "Guy on field" , "One means of intimidation" , "Device for protecting crops" , "6 [FRIEND OF DOROTHY]" , "Batman villain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and the L.A. Times Daily.
