Planter doing a job that could be worse (5)
I believe the answer is:
sower
'planter doing a job that' is the definition.
'sower' can be an answer for 'planter' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the remainder of the definition.
'could be worse' is the wordplay.
'could be' is an anagram indicator.
'worse' anagrammed gives 'SOWER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sower that I've seen before include "Seedy operative" , "Arable worker" , "Worker in field" , "Farm worker" , "One spreading seeds" .)
