Crossword Genius

Skilled worker finds scant farm work (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

craftsman

'skilled worker' is the definition.
(craftsman is a kind of skilled worker)

'scant farm work' is the wordplay.
'work' is an anagram indicator.
'scant'+'farm'='scantfarm'
'scantfarm' is an anagram of 'CRAFTSMAN'.

'finds' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for craftsman that I've seen before include "Artisan" , "Skilled worker" , "Expert" , "Carpenter, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
