טול אתה חטין שבמקום פלוני. הכא מיירי שחלקו שדה בקמותיה וענבים המחוברים בכרם הלכך יש ברירה ואמרינן זהו חלקו המגיעו והמעשר מעשר את שלו ודיו. ולעיל איירי שחלקו בתלוש והתם אין ברירה דכל קלח וקלח של שותפים הוא וצריך לעשר דמאי על חלק חברו שבידו:
אבל לא יאמר לו טול אתה חטין ואני שעורים. דליכא למימר הכא זהו חלקו המגיעו אלא הוו כמחליפים זה לזה, ונמצא זה המעשר מוכר חלקו למי שאינו מעשר:

דמאי פרק ו׳ משנה ט׳
Bartenura
חבר – who is trustworthy in ritual purity and one does not have to say for tithes [as well].
שירשו את אביהן עם הארץ – and the produce that he placed down were doubtfully tithed and with the presumption of being ritual impure.
טול אתה בלח – that are susceptible to receive ritual impurity and I [will take] the dry that has not become susceptible to receive ritual impurity, because it is forbidden for a person who is a member of the order for the observance of the Levitical laws in daily intercourse (i.e., a חבר), to sell to an עם הארץ – a person who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes and Levitical cleanness something moist and dry as is taught above in Chapter 2 [Mishnah 3].
חבר. הנאמן לטהרות ואין צריך לומר למעשרות:
שירשו את אביהן עם הארץ. ופירות שהניח הוו דמאי ובחזקת טמאים:
טול אתה בלח. שהוכשר לקבל טומאה ואני ביבש שלא הוכשר לקבל טומאה לפי שאסור לחבר למכור לעם הארץ לח ויבש כדתנן לעיל בפרק שני:
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.

טול אתה חטין שבמקום פלוני – here we are speaking that they divided a field when its crop is full grown (i.e., when it is with its standing crop) and grapes that are attached in the vineyard, therefore, there is a choice and we say: “this is his half that reaches [up to here] the one who separates tithes - tithes his [own] and that is enough. But above (i.e., in Mishnah 7), we are dealing with his part that is detached from the ground and there is no choice, for each and every stalk belongs to sharing partners and he needs to tithe on the portion of his colleague that is in his hand.
אבל לא יאמר לו טול אתה חטין ואני שעורים – for one cannot say here that this is his portion that reaches him rather, that it is like they exchange with each other, and it is found that this one that tithes sells his portion to someone who does not tithe.
