Worker on fruit farm who chooses the easy option? (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherry picker

I believe this is a double definition.

'worker on fruit farm' is the first definition.
(someone who picks cherries on a farm)

'who chooses the easy option?' is the second definition.
(as in cherry-picking in an argument)

(Other definitions for cherry picker that I've seen before include "One who selectively selects the best" , "one employed in an orchard?" , "One selecting the best" , "Crane" , "One going for the best harvester" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
