Gardener gathering cheap crop ultimately for grain bin (6)
I believe the answer is:
hopper
'grain bin' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'gardener gathering cheap crop ultimately' is the wordplay.
'gardener' becomes 'hoer' (I've seen this in other clues).
'gathering' is an insertion indicator (gather can mean to acquire or bring in).
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The final letters of 'cheap crop' are 'pp'.
'hoer' placed around 'pp' is 'HOPPER'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hopper that I've seen before include "Edward ..., American realist painter" , "Jumper on one foot" , "Edward --, US artist" , "Kentish farm" , "agricultural machine?" .)
