Line managers dishing out greens typical of the farm (6)
I believe the answer is:
animal
'farm' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for animal that I've seen before include "I''m Alan (anag) - a wild, crazy person" , "savage" , "It shares the world with vegetable and mineral" , "One sharing our kingdom" , "Neither vegetable nor mineral" .)
