Halakhah for Bava Metzia 9:7

הַמְקַבֵּל שָׂדֶה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ בַּעֲשָׂרָה כּוֹר חִטִּים לְשָׁנָה, לָקְתָה, נוֹתֵן לוֹ מִתּוֹכָהּ. הָיוּ חִטֶּיהָ יָפוֹת, לֹא יֹאמַר לוֹ הֲרֵינִי לוֹקֵחַ מִן הַשּׁוּק, אֶלָּא נוֹתֵן לוֹ מִתּוֹכָהּ:

If one received a field from his neighbor [in rental] for ten [i.e., for such and such] kor of wheat for a year, and it were blasted, he gives him [the stipulated ten kor] from its midst [i.e., from this blasted wheat, and the other cannot claim good wheat.] If the wheat were prime, he (the renter) cannot tell him (the owner): "I will buy some (for you) from the market," but he must give him from its midst.
