During wild gales, one gets fodder (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

silage

'fodder' is the definition.
(fodder used to feed animals)

'during wild gales one' is the wordplay.
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'gales' with letters rearranged gives 'slage'.
'slage' going around 'i' is 'SILAGE'.

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for silage that I've seen before include "Animal feed" , "Green fodder stored and fermented" , "Form of fodder" , "Stored, dried animal fodder" , "Preserved fodder for cattle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
