foreman

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

'one farm overseer' is the definition.
'foreman' can be an answer for 'overseer' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'one farm' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for foreman that I've seen before include "spokesman" , "Charge hand" , "Male supervisor" , "Gaffer, boss" , "Gaffer, overseer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
