Mishnah 1א׳
הַמְקַבֵּל שָׂדֶה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ, מְקוֹם שֶׁנָּהֲגוּ לִקְצֹר, יִקְצֹר, לַעֲקֹר, יַעֲקֹר, לַחֲרשׁ אַחֲרָיו, יַחֲרשׁ. הַכֹּל כְּמִנְהַג הַמְּדִינָה. כְּשֵׁם שֶׁחוֹלְקִין בַּתְּבוּאָה, כָּךְ חוֹלְקִין בַּתֶּבֶן וּבַקַּשׁ. כְּשֵׁם שֶׁחוֹלְקִין בַּיַּיִן, כָּךְ חוֹלְקִין בַּזְּמוֹרוֹת וּבַקָּנִים. וּשְׁנֵיהֶם מְסַפְּקִין אֶת הַקָּנִים:
[If] one received a field from his fellow: In a place that was accustomed to cut [the crops], he should cut them; to uproot, he should uproot; to plow after it, he should plow - everything according to the local custom. Just as they divide the grain, so too they shall divide the straw and the stubble; just as they divide the wine, so too they shall divide the branches and the reeds. And both of them shall supply the reeds.
Mishnah 2ב׳
הַמְקַבֵּל שָׂדֶה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ, וְהִיא בֵית הַשְּׁלָחִין אוֹ בֵית הָאִילָן, יָבַשׁ הַמַּעְיָן וְנִקְצַץ הָאִילָן, אֵינוֹ מְנַכֶּה לוֹ מִן חֲכוֹרוֹ. אִם אָמַר לוֹ חֲכֹר לִי שְׂדֵה בֵית הַשְּׁלָחִין זֶה אוֹ שְׂדֵה בֵית הָאִילָן זֶה, יָבַשׁ הַמַּעְיָן וְנִקְצַץ הָאִילָן, מְנַכֶּה לוֹ מִן חֲכוֹרוֹ:
[If] one received a field from his fellow and it was an irrigated field or a field with trees, and the spring dried up or the trees were cut down, he may not deduct from his lease. If he said to him, “Lease me this irrigated field," or "[Lease me] this field with trees," and the spring dried up or the trees were cut down, he may deduct from his lease.
