Bartenura
המרבץ את ביתו. מזלף בו מים כדי שלא יעלה האבק:
וטננו. נתלחלחו. לשון אם היתה שדה מטוננת, שפירושו שדה לחה, בפרק קמא דמועד קטן [דף ו׳]:
אם מחמת הסלע. צור שמששת ימי בראשית, והוא רצפת הבית, ומתוך כך נתלחלחו החטים:
המטנן בחול. מטמין הפירות בחול כדי שיטננו, כלומר שיתלחלחו, שיקבלו מלחלוחית החול:
הרי זה בכי יותן. דאין חול בלא מים:

Mishnayos Machshirin Perek 3 Mishnah 5
מכשירין פרק ג׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
נגוב – dry.
אינו חושש שמא נתן בה חטים וטננו (and he does not scruple lest he put it in grains of wheat and they grow damp) – this is what he said: If he placed on it is wheat, he does not feel pain lest they were moistened.
כשהטל עליהם – as for example, that he would lease it for his work and he harvested the grasses with the dew that was upon them. But he did not intend because of the dew.
להטן בהם חטים – to hide with wheat with them in order that they can be moistened.
אם נתכוין לכך – for the dew that is upon them.
אי אפשר שלא לשמוח – for he would be delayed there in order that rain should fall upon them.
נגוב. יבש:
אינו חושש שמא נתן בה חטים וטננו. הכי קאמר, אם נתן בה חטים, אינו חושש שמא טננו:
כשהטל עליהם. כגון שהיה משכים למלאכתו וליקט עשבים עם הטל שעליהם, אבל הוא לא נתכוין בשביל הטל:
להטן בהם חטים. להטמין בהם חטים כדי שיטננו:
אם נתכוין לכך. לטל שעליהן:
אי אפשר שלא לשמוח. שהרי היה צריך ללותתן:
אלא אם עמד. נתעכב שם כדי שירדו עליהם גשמים:
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.
