Somehow I get wholly caught up in farming (7)
I believe the answer is:
tillage
'farming' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'somehow i get wholly caught up in' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'wholly' becomes 'all' (synonyms).
'caught up' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters go up).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'all' in reverse letter order is 'lla'.
'i'+'get'='iget'
'iget' is an anagram of 'tige'.
'tige' going around 'lla' is 'TILLAGE'.
(Other definitions for tillage that I've seen before include "Farmers work at it" , "digging" , "Spadework" , "dirty work" , "Arable land worked by ploughing" .)
