אין לו חומש. אין הבעלים צריכין להוסיף חומש כשפודים אותו:
ואין לו ביעור. בשנה שלישית וששית [נ״א. רביעית ושביעית שהמעשרות מתבערין, דחומש וביעור לא נאמרו בכרם רבעי אלא במעשר. ומיהו מודו ב״ש דפדיון מיהא אית ליה, ואע״ג דלא נאמר פדיון במקרא בכרם רבעי, דילפי ליה מדכתיב (ויקרא י״ט:כ״ד) קדש הלולים, קרי ביה חלולים אחליה והדר אכליה:
וב״ה אומרים יש לו. דילפי קדש קדש ממעשר, ליתן לו כל דין מעשר:
יש לו פרט ויש לו עוללות. דסברי ממון בעלים הוא ולא ממון גבוה הלכך חייב בפרט ובעוללות ככל כרם דעלמא. והעניים שמלקטים הפרט ועוללות מכרם רבעי, פודין לעצמן ואוכלין הפדיון בירושלים:
וב״ה אומרים כולו לגת. דסברי ממון גבוה הוא כמו מעשר, הלכך אין לו פרט ועוללות, אלא דורכים אותו כולו כאחת ומעלה ואוכל בירושלים, או פודהו ומעלה הדמים לירושלים:

מניח את הסך על פי שלשה – [three] specialists in estimation, for ordinary fourth-year’s fruits from a young tree’s monetary value is not known since you have to calculate the expenditures as the Mishnah teaches here.
לפדות בסלע – that is to purchase with a Selah while it is attached to the ground.
על מנת להוציא יציאות מביתו – the salary of working the vineyard from the time that it is called a fruit, such as the salary for guarding and hoeing.
ומניח את המעות – according to the estimation, after they estimated so-and-so many baskets per Selah.
מניח את הסל על פי שלשה. בקיאין בשומא, דסתם נטע רבעי אין דמיו ידועים לפי שצריך לחשב היציאות כדתנן הכא:
לפדות בסלע. כלומר ליקח בסלע במחובר לקרקע:
על מנת להוציא יציאות מביתו. שכר פעולת הכרם משעה שנקרא פרי, כגון שכר שמירה ועידור:
ומניח את המעות. לפי השומא, לאחר ששמו כך וכך סלים בסלע:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

What if I miss a day?

אין לו חומש – the owners do not have to add one-fifth [its value] when they redeem it.
ואי לו ביעור – in the fourth year and in the seventh year when the tithes are removed (see Deuteronomy 26:13), for the [added] fifth and removal are not mentioned with regard to the fourth-year grapes and removal [of the fruits] but with regard to tithes. And however, the School of Shammai admits that it has redemption, and even though redemption is not stated in the Biblical verses related to fourth-year grapes, that we derive it from what is written (Leviticus 19:24): “[In the fourth year all its fruit] shall be set aside for jubilation before the LORD.” We call it ceased to be sacred (i.e., by being redeemed) and thereafter it may be eaten.
וב"ה אומרים יש לו – that is derived [by analogy] from [the doubling of the word] "קדש" "קדש"/”sanctified,” “sanctified (see Leviticus 19:24 “[In the fourth year all its fruit] shall be set aside [[קדש for jubilation before the LORD – with regard to fourth-year grapes and Leviticus 27:30: “All tithes from the land, whether seed from the ground or fruit the tree, are the LORD’s; they are holy [קדש] to the LORD” concerning Second-Tithe), to give it (i.e., fourth-year grapes) the law of [Second] Tithe (see Talmud Kiddushin 54b).
יש לו פרט ויש לו עוללות – (For a definition of these terms, see Mishnah Peah, Chapter 7, Mishnayot 3-4.) That they (i.e., The School of Shammai) hold that the money belongs to the owner and that the money is not for “on high” (i.e., God’s), therefore, he is obligated for grapes fallen off during cutting and the gleanings reserved for the poor in every vineyard of the world. And the por who glean the grapes that had fallen off during cutting and gleanings reserved for the poor sell those that in their fourth year and redeem them for themselves and eat the redemption in Jerusalem. [Note that an עוללת can also be referring to a small single bunch (on a single branch, or handing down directly from the trunk – as opposed to אשכול/a cluster of grapes)].
וב"ה אומרים כולו לגת – for they (i.e., the School of Hillel) hold that it is money of “on-high” (i.e., God’s) like [Second] Tithe. Therefore, there are no [obligation for] grapes fallen off during cutting and the gleanings reserved for the poor, but one stamps on them all together as one and brings them up and eats them in Jerusalem, or he redeems it and brings up the monies [to purchase food] in Jerusalem.
