Mishnayos Maaser Sheni Perek 5 Mishnah 8
מעשר שני פרק ה׳ משנה ח׳
Bartenura
מהרו ותקנו אעת פירותיכם – heave-offerings [for the Kohen] and [First] tithes [for the Levite] to give them to those whom are appropriate, and Second Tithe – to bring it up and to consume it in Jerusalem.
שלא הגיעו לעומת המעשרות – Each and every fruit as its due season (i.e., harvested products when they have arrived at the stage when they are subject to tithes – see Mishnah Peah, Chapter 8, Mishnah 8 and Mishnah Ma’aserot, Chapter 5, Mishnah 5) is explained in the first chapter of Tractate Ma’aserot.
פטורים מן הביעור – For at first, they would say that prior to the stage when they are subject to tithes, they also require removal [from the house] (see Deuteronomy 26:14).
מהרו ותקנו את פירותיכם. תרומות ומעשרות לתת אותן לראוי להן, ומעשר שני להעלותו ולאכלו בירושלים:
שלא הגיעו לעונת המעשרות. כל פרי ופרי כמו שמפורש עונתו בפרק קמא דמעשרות:
פטורים מן הביעור. ובראשונה היו אומרים דקודם עונת המעשרות נמי זקוק לבער. והלכה כר״ע:

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.
