Mishnayos Bikkurim Perek 1 Mishnah 7
ביכורים פרק א׳ משנה ז׳
Bartenura
והשני מאותו המין אינו מביא. הקונה את השדה אינו מביא ביכורים מאותה שדה מאותו המין שהביא המוכר, דכתיב (שם) הגדתי היום, פעם אחת מגיד ואינו מגיד שתי פעמים:
רבי יהודה אומר אף מאותו המין מביא וקורא. דהא דאמרן פעם אחת מגיד ואינו מגיד שתי פעמים, הני מילי באדם אחד, אבל בשני בני אדם מגיד וחוזר ומגיד. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Bikkurim Perek 1 Mishnah 8
ביכורים פרק א׳ משנה ח׳
Bartenura
נמקו – to be rotted and decayed, such as (Leviticus 26:39): “they shall be heartsick [over the iniquities of their fathers].”
נבזזו – they were stolen from him, such as (Deuteronomy 2:35): “We retained as booty [the cattle and the spoil of the cities that we captured].”
אין חייבין עליהם חומש – A foreigner (i.e. non-Kohen) who ate of them does not pay the additional fifth. But this Mishnah is that of an individual opinion and is not the Halakha, but the Halakha is that they are obligated to pay the additional fifth.
נטמאו בעזרה נופץ ואינו קורא – which is our reading, that is to say, to empty and pour out the fruit from the basket since they have become defiled. But the basket is given to the Kohen, as it is written (Deuteronomy 26:4): “The priest shall take the basket from your hand [and set it down in front of the altar of the LORD your God].” There are times when the Kohen takes nothing other than the basket. But he is not obligated to bring other First Fruits in their place, for since they came to the Temple Mount , they are not obligated any further surety.
נמקו. נרקבו ונמסו, כמו אתם ימקו (ויקרא כו):
נבזזו. נגזלו ממנו כמו בזזנו לנו (דברים ב):
אין חייבין עליהם חומש. זר שאכלן אינו משלם את החומש. והך מתניתין יחידאה היא ואינה הלכה, אלא הלכה שחייבים עליהם חומש:
נטמאו בעזרה נופץ ואינו קורא גרסינן, כלומר מנער ומריק הסל מן הפירות כיון שנטמאו והסל ניתן לכהנים דכתיב (שם כו) ולקח הכהן הטנא מידך פעמים שאין הכהן לוקח אלא הטנא. ואינו חייב להביא ביכורים אחרים תחתיהן. דכיון שבאו להר הבית לא מתחייב תו באחריותן:
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.

והשני מאותו המין אינו מביא – The individual who purchases the field does not bring First Fruits from the same field, from the same seed/species that the seller had brought from, as it is written (Deuteronomy 26:3): “…I acknowledge this day [before the LORD your God that I have entered the land].” One time a person acknowledges, but he does not acknowledge twice.
ר"י אומר: אף מאותו המין מביא וקורא – That which we said that one time a person acknowledges, but he does not acknowledge twice, these words concern one individual, but with two people, he acknowledges and then [the other] acknowledges again. But the Halakha does not follow Rabbi Yehuda.
