Live on type of farmland? That's just about okay (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bearable

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

'just about okay' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'live on type of farmland?' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'type of farmland?' becomes 'arable' (I've seen this before).
'be'+'arable'='BEARABLE'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bearable that I've seen before include "Tolerable" , "Capable of being endured" , "just about OK" , "Able to be tolerated" , "sustainable" .)
