Nice to get rid of large worker on the land (7)

I believe the answer is:
peasant
'worker on the land' is the definition.
'peasant' can be an answer for 'worker' (peasant is a kind of worker). I am not sure about the 'on the land' bit.
'nice to get rid of large' is the wordplay.
'nice' becomes 'pleasant' (associated in meaning).
'to get rid of' is a deletion indicator.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'pleasant' with 'l' taken away is 'PEASANT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peasant that I've seen before include "Country labourer" , "Rural person of low class" , "Bumpkin" , "Poor country worker" , "Yokel" .)
