Cultivation of land for raising crops (7)

I believe the answer is:

tillage

(Other definitions for tillage that I've seen before include "Cultivation of the soil" , "Husbandry" , "Land preparation" , "Cultivation of fields" , "Arable land worked by ploughing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
