המקבל שדה מחבירו לזרעה שעורים. בחכירות כך וכך שעורים או חטים או מעות:
לא יזרענה חטים. שהחטים מכחישות הקרקע [יותר] מן השעורים:
רשב״ג אוסר. שקשה לקרקע כשזורעים אותה שנה ממין זה ושנה ממין אחר. ולענין פסק הלכה הכל לפי הקרקע ולפי המקום. אם התנה עמו בדבר שמכחיש הקרקע מעט אינו יכול לשנות ולזרוע דבר שמכחיש הרבה. ואיפכא שרי:

Mishnayos Bava Metzia Perek 9 Mishnah 9
בבא מציעא פרק ט׳ משנה ט׳
Bartenura
לשנים מועטות – less than seven years.
לא יזרענה פשתן – for flax weakens the land a great deal and its roots remain in the land until seven years.
ואין לו בקורת שקמה – it is the wood of a fig-tree of the forest. And we cut its branches for beans of the building and they continue to grow, but for less than seven years, one does not make beams. Therefore, acceptance [of a lease] for less than seven years, he cannot cut down beams on it, for it is not the intention that beams come down, for in a few years, they do not restore the beams. But if he accepted [a lease] for seven years, the first year, he can sow flax and cut down the sycamore that is in it.
לשנים מועטות. פחות משבע שנים:
לא יזרענה פשתן. שזרע פשתן מכחיש בארץ הרבה ושרשיו נשארים בקרקע עד שבע שנים:
ואין לו בקורת שקמה. עץ תאנה של יער הוא, וקוצצים ענפיו לקורות הבנין, והם חוזרים וגדלים, ופחות משבע שנים אינן נעשות קורות. הלכך קבלה לפחות משבע שנים לא יקוץ קורות שבה, דלאו אדעתא דקורות נחית, דבשנים מועטות אינם חוזרים לקורות. אבל קבלה לשבע שנים, שנה ראשונה זורעה פשתן וקוצץ שקמה שבה:

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.

המקבל שדה מחבירו לזרעה שעורים – in a tenancy – such-and-such barley or wheat or money.
לא יזרענה חטים – as the wheat weakens/deteriorates the land [more] than the barley.
רשב"ג אוסר – that it is hard for the land when they sow it one year with one species and another year with a different species. But concerning the legal decision, everything is according to the land/property and according to the place. If he made a condition with him in a matter that weakens the land a bit, he is not able to change and to plant something that weakens it a lot, but the opposite is permissible.
