Ross

I believe the answer is:

ploughman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'farmer' is the definition.
(I know that ploughman is a type of farmer)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ploughman that I've seen before include "One with shares in Labour" , "Agricultural worker (having lunch?)" , "possibly, in the farm" , "His groundbreaking work" , "Tiller of soil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
