Description

Masechet Bava Matzia 40a: What % of the produce can the Shomer subtract from the produce due to spoilage? In the case of flax seeds and spelt, for example, the rate of spoilage is 10% (not as we mentioned 6%). Many factors must be taken into account in order to arrive at the exact %. All depend upon time and place.
