Crossword Genius

Grade the produce harvested (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gathered

'harvested' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'grade the produce' is the wordplay.
'produce' is an anagram indicator.
'grade'+'the'='gradethe'
'gradethe' anagrammed gives 'GATHERED'.

(Other definitions for gathered that I've seen before include "Brought together in one place" , "The grade (anag.)" , "assumed" , "Collected in one place and concluded" , "Drew" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
