Mishnah 1א׳

כֵּיצַד בּוֹצְרִים בֵּית הַפְּרָס. מַזִּים עַל הָאָדָם וְעַל הַכֵּלִים, וְשׁוֹנִים וּבוֹצְרִים וּמוֹצִיאִים חוּץ לְבֵית הַפְּרָס, וַאֲחֵרִים מְקַבְּלִים מֵהֶם וּמוֹלִיכִים לַגָּת. אִם נָגְעוּ אֵלּוּ בָאֵלּוּ, טְמֵאִים, כְּדִבְרֵי בֵית הִלֵּל. בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, אוֹחֵז אֶת הַמַּגָּל בְּסִיב, אוֹ בוֹצֵר בְּצוֹר וְנוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ הַכְּפִישָׁה וּמוֹלִיךְ לַגָּת. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בְּכֶרֶם הַנַּעֲשָׂה בֵית הַפְּרָס. אֲבָל נוֹטֵעַ בֵּית הַפְּרָס, יִמָּכֵר לַשּׁוּק:

How can one harvest grapes in the Beit Pras [a field in which a grave has been plowed over]? We sprinkle on the person and the vessels and repeat and they can harvest the grapes and take them out of the Beit Pras, and others receive from them and carry to the winepress. If these [people] touched those, they are impure according to the words of the House of Hillel. The House of Shammai say, he holds the sickle with palm tree bark [which cannot become impure] or harvests the grapes with a rock and places them in a basket and take them to the winepress. Rabbi Yossi says, when is this the case? In a vineyard that became the Beit Pras, but if he planted in the Beit Pras, they should be sold in the market.

Mishnah 2ב׳

שְׁלשָׁה בֵית פְּרָסוֹת הֵן, הַחוֹרֵשׁ אֶת הַקֶּבֶר, נִטַּעַת כָּל נֶטַע, וְאֵינָהּ נִזְרַעַת כָּל זֶרַע, חוּץ מִזֶּרַע הַנִּקְצָר. וְאִם עֲקָרוֹ, צוֹבֵר אֶת גָּרְנוֹ לְתוֹכוֹ וְכוֹבְרוֹ בִשְׁתֵּי כְבָרוֹת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, הַתְּבוּאָה בִּשְׁתֵּי כְבָרוֹת, וְהַקִּטְנִיּוֹת בְּשָׁלשׁ כְּבָרוֹת. וְשׂוֹרֵף אֶת הַקַּשׁ וְאֶת הֶעָצָה, וּמְטַמֵּא בְמַגָּע וּבְמַשָּׂא, וְאֵינוֹ מְטַמֵּא בְאֹהֶל:

There are three types of Beit Pras, one who plows over a grave, it may be planted with any tree but cannot be sown with any seeds except for seeds which will be cut. If he uprooted it, he must heap the threshing into it and sift it with two sieves, says Rabbi Meir. The Sages say, grain requires two sieves but legumes require three sieves. And he must burn the straw and the pea-stalks and it makes one impure by touching and by carrying but not by overshadowing.
