This owner has to scatter seeds (3)
I believe the answer is:
sow
'scatter seeds' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'this owner has' is the wordplay.
'has' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SOW' is hidden in the letters of 'this owner'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sow that I've seen before include "Female bear" , "Plant seeds for the pig" , "swine" , "Female badger" , "Prepare farmland" .)
