Cut short the harvest (4)

I believe the answer is:

crop

This clue is a double definition.

'cut short' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'the harvest' is the second definition.
('crop' can be a synonym of 'harvest')

(Other definitions for crop that I've seen before include "Produce - short hairstyle" , "Produce - riding whip" , "Produce; whip stock" , "Harvest yield" , "Set" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
