All answers have something to do with a farm in them.

70) 51 in Rome and in Fife too (5)

15) Would the groundsman use this when preparing the turf for a match? (9) I was given a hint to think about the way a groundsman would deal with a waterlogged pitch, but I can't think what that might be.

There is certainly a Ceres in Fife.
What is puzzling me is what 51 has to do with the clue 70?
What don't I see?

Do you have the answer to clue 51 yet? Maybe it's relevant.

Same her Rusty, I spent ages looking through every 5 letter word with 'LI' in it, before it dawned on me it may be irrelevant!
