Seeds worker gives yokel (7)
I believe the answer is:
peasant
'yokel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'seeds worker' is the wordplay.
'seeds' becomes 'peas' (I have seen 'Edible seeds ' mean 'peas' so perhaps 'seeds' could also mean 'peas').
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'peas'+'ant'='PEASANT'
'gives' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for peasant that I've seen before include "rude fellow" , "Rustic fellow" , "Farm worker - ignorant person" , "Poor farmworker" , "Poor worker on the land" .)
