GIVING MORE THAN THE MINIMUM (Yerushalmi Peah Halachah 2 Daf 5b)
[דף י עמוד ב (עוז והדר)] משנה אין פוחתין לפיאה מששים אע"פ שאמרו אין לפיאה שעור הכל לפי גודל השדה ולפי העניים ולפי הענוה:
(Mishnah): One should not leave less than 1/60th as Peah; and even though they said that there is no minimum amount for Peah, everything is according to the size of the field, the poor and the abundance of the crop. (Some explain this phrase as meaning 'according to his humility'. Rambam translates it as 'according to the response i.e. the growth, of the field').
גמרא תני אין אומרים לו הבא גמלים וטעון
(Gemara) (Baraisa): We do not tell the poor man to go and bring camels and load them up with the Peah.
מתניתא ביתר מכשיעור אבל בכשיעור אומרים לו הבא גמלים וטעון שדהו מרובה ועניים מועטים נותן לפי שדהו שדהו מועטים ועניים מרובים נותן לפי העניים
The Baraisa is referring to giving more than the minimum, but as for the minimum, we tell him to go and bring camels. If his field yields a large crop, but there are few poor people, he must give according to his field. If his field was small, but his workers and the poor were many, he must give according to the poor.
ר"ש דרש שני דברים לקלו של בעל הבית שדהו מרובים ועניים מועטים נותן לפי העניים שדהו מועטים ועניים מרובים נותן לפי שדהו:
R. Shimon expounded two laws that were to the benefit of the land owner - if the field is large and there are few poor people, he gives according to the poor. If the field is small and the poor are many, he gives according to his field.
מתניתא לא אמרה כן אלא הכל לפי גודל השדה ולפי העניים ולפי הענוה:
However, our Mishnah said that everything is according to the size of the field, the poor and the abundance of the crop.
