One who contracts with another for a field and it did not produce31And the share cropper does not work for a minimal yield.. If it is enough to make a pile, he has to work on it. Rebbi Jehudah said, what is the definition of a pile? But if it is enough for spreading.

HALAKHAH: “One who contracts with another for a field,” etc.
“One who contracts with another for a field,” etc. How much is “enough to make a pile”? Rebbi Jacob bar Idi in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: that the winnowing shovel can stand upright in it32It is enough if the shovel can be held standing by the grain around it (Babli 105a).. Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina: only that its handle be on top33The shovel’s blade must be completely covered by grain, only the handle be visible on top (Babli 105a).. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said: in addition to his expenses34There must be enough grain so it may be sold to cover the share cropper’s expenses and the remainder form a pile in which a shovel can be kept standing. In the Babli (105a), R. Simeon ben Laqish says, the expenses and two se‘ah of grain (about 25 liter).. Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina said: in addition to the expenses of both of them. Rebbi Abbahu said: “for spreading”, to recover the seed grain which was spread on it35This is explained in Peah 5:1:7" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Peah.5.1.7">Peah 5:1, Notes 28–30..
