Produced harvests to be cut short (7)
I believe the answer is:
cropped
This could be a double definition.
'produced harvests' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with creating things as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'be cut short' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for cropped that I've seen is " Cut short".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
