Ploughman's £50 in bank (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tiller

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

'ploughman's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ps50 in bank' is the wordplay.
'ps50' becomes 'll' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'bank' becomes 'tier' (both can mean a row of similar things).
'll' placed within 'tier' is 'TILLER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tiller that I've seen before include "Boat's steering handle" , "Steering lever" , "Lever to turn the rudder on a boat" , "Farmer" , "Rudder's steering handle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
