Punch the farmer? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haymaker

I believe this is a double definition.

'punch' is the first definition.
(I know that haymaker is a type of punch)

'the farmer?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for haymaker that I've seen before include "Farm worker - wild punch" , "one taking advantage of sunshine" , "powerful punch" , "strong punch" , "one working while the sun shines!" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
