Wide sheds for sows (10)

I believe the answer is:

broadcasts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sows' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'wide sheds' is the wordplay.
'wide' becomes 'broad' (synonyms).
'sheds' becomes 'casts' ('cast' can be a synonym of 'shed').
'broad'+'casts'='BROADCASTS'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
