Mary and Enid working as farmers? (8)

I believe the answer is:

dairymen

'farmers?' is the definition.
(dairyman is a kind of farmer)

'mary and enid working' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'working' indicates an anagram.
'mary' put after 'enid' is 'enidmary'.
'enidmary' with letters rearranged gives 'DAIRYMEN'.

'as' is the link.

(Another definition for dairymen that I've seen is " those who deal in the white stuff".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
