Do farmer's steps for audience (5)
I believe the answer is:
style
'do farmer's' is the definition.
'style' can be an answer for 'do' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'farmer's' bit.
'steps for audience' is the wordplay.
'steps' becomes 'stile' (set of steps in a field).
'for audience' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (how it might sound to an audience).
'stile' is a homophone of 'STYLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for style that I've seen before include "Vogue or grace" , "Manner or look" , "Showy way of life - elegance" , "way of writing" , "Mode; fashionableness" .)
