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 a hidden word.
'SOW' is hidden within 'this owner'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for sow that I've seen before include "Female bear" , "Plant seeds for the pig" , "swine" , "Female badger" , "Prepare farmland" .)
