If 1d is hearsay then 1a. Is not barn conversion. Clue is Fodder's requiring changers for cattle? (4,10).

[scorpiojo]

What letters do you have, Gav?

[Gavmacp]

Not many ???? ??N?E?????

[fiction-factory]

hearsay looks right.
so I assume 1a is now H??? Conversion?

[fiction-factory]

Sorry
H??? ??N?E?????

[scorpiojo]

Give us a crossing clue, Gav please.

[fiction-factory]

Does the clue say changers or changes?

Last farmers weekly was much easier!
So to give us the 3rd letter in the 4. 2d...and last of early parts of corn have concealed heather for young animals (9). ????????R
