They bring in the crops and criminally starve her son (10)

I believe the answer is:

harvesters

'they bring in the crops' is the definition.
(people who harvest crops)

'criminally starve her son' is the wordplay.
'criminally' indicates anagramming the letters.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'starve'+'her'='starveher'
'starveher' anagrammed gives 'harvester'.
'harvester'+'s'='HARVESTERS'

'and' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
