Bartenura
שדה שקצרוה גוים – for themselves. But the heathen workers did not harvest it for an Israelite, for then, it is as if an Israelite harvested it.
קרסמוה נמלים – it is the manner of ants to sever the branch of an ear of corn from the bottom, and this is called the plucking of tops off, in the language of (Psalms 80:14): “wild boars gnaw at it.”
פטורה – as it is written concerning the corner (Leviticus 23:22): “and when you reap [the harvest of your land…” until you, yourselves will be the reapers/harvesters.
שחובת הקציר בקמה – that is to say, the obligation for the corner of this that is left standing, and assuming that if the field was destroyed, the corner returned to the sheaves and he is liable to separate the corner from the sheaves; these words apply where the field was destroyed, but here it was not destroyed.
שדה שקצרוה כותים. לעצמן. ולא שקצרוה פועלי כותים לישראל, דאז הוי כאילו קצרוה ישראל:
קרסמוה נמלים. דרך הנמלה לחתוך קנה השבולת מלמטה. ולזה קורים קרסום, לשון יכרסמנה חזיר מיער (תהלים פ):
פטורה. דכתיב גבי פאה ובקצרכם, עד שתהיו אתם הקוצרים:
שחובת הקציר בקמה. כלומר חובת הפאה של זה הניחה בקמה. ונהי דאם כלה שדה, חזרה פאה לעומרים וחייב להפריש פאה מן העומרים, ה״מ היכא דכלה הוא אבל הכא הוא לא כלה:

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.
