Fee puts pressure on crop (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

price

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

'fee' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pressure on crop' is the wordplay.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (scientific abbreviation).
'on crop' becomes 'rice' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'p'+'rice'='PRICE'

'puts' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for price that I've seen before include "Jordan?" , "Cost of purchase" , "Amount needed to purchase something" , "Listed cost" , "Fee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
