Milk producers switched two entries in record — the woman's deceived at first (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
dairy herd
'milk producers' is the definition.
(cows producing milk)
'record the woman's deceived at first' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'dairy' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'the woman' becomes 'her' ('her' refers to a woman).
'at first' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'deceived' is 'd'.
'dairy'+'her'+'d'='DAIRY HERD'
'switched two entries in' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
