He's in charge of one farm possibly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foreman

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

'he's in charge' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'one farm possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'one'+'farm'='onefarm'
'onefarm' is an anagram of 'FOREMAN'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for foreman that I've seen before include "Charge hand" , "Gaffer, overseer" , "Gaffer, boss" , "Fellow in charge" , "Male supervisor" .)
