Any help with these last couple would be appreciated too, although I suspect the answers are obvious when pointed out....
32a Maybe bovine needs to be cultivated(5) D???E

And, combined with that

33d Soil in rising Scottish mountain, an example that's quite dirty (4,3,4)
??A? T?E ?O?E

I am going to be irritated when I see the answers, aren't I?
