Farmer managed to get companion, top lady (7)
I believe the answer is:
rancher
'farmer' is the definition.
(rancher is a kind of farmer)
'managed to get companion top lady' is the wordplay.
'managed' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this before).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'companion' becomes 'ch' (I've seen this in other clues).
'top lady' becomes 'er' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ran'+'ch'+'er'='RANCHER'
(Other definitions for rancher that I've seen before include "Person with stock" , "Owner of a large farm" , "Cattle farmer in the Americas" , "Farm worker" , "A cowboy" .)
