Talking Talmud Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

The daf mentions that it is an Ein HaRah to have someone stand near your field and look at your crops. The many benefits of eating bread in the morning are listed.

Natural calamities... and how years with no rain (and therefore no produce) were characterized as "Elijah's years." Plus, calculating produce per the years of Shemitah (and Yovel) - and how that connects to redeeming one's conscrated ancestral lands. Plus, mishnah! Cultivating wheat when the crop fails is a challenge to pay back....

A new mishnah - does weeding a field have impact on the transaction of the farmer (vs. landowner). Also, what does a measure of one's load have to do with prayer or tefillin? Plus, one more mishnah on the terms of natural disaster for a field.

A “meta” daf. Rav Pappa shares what types of farmers the mishnayot on the previous daf discuss. The daf describes situations where lashon hedyot - text that people may typically use - and when it is accepted in a variety of halachic scenarios.

The 8th perek finishes with a discussion about replacing a rented house that fell. The ninth perek discussed the laws of sharecroppers and tenant farmers.

Who takes the mezuzot in a rented property? The daf discusses the mitzvah of sending a mother bird away to collect her eggs in a rented property.
