Chasidut for Pesachim 111:13
וסבר רבי יהודה קצירה שלא ברצון חכמים היא והתנן אנשי יריחו קוצרין לפני העומר ברצון חכמים וגודשין לפני העומר שלא ברצון חכמים ולא מיחו בידם חכמים
And it is these which they did not forbid them: They grafted palm trees the whole day, and they 'wrapped up' the shema', and they stacked [the corn] before the 'omer. And it is these which they forbade them to do: They permitted [for use] branches of hekdesh of carob and sycamore trees, and they made breaches in their garden and orchards to permit the poor to eat the fallen fruit in famine years on Sabbaths and Festivals; they gave pe'ah from vegetables; and the Sages forbade them. Yet does R'Judah hold that the reaping was not with the consent of the Sages? Surely we learned: The inhabitants of Jericho reaped before the 'omer with the consent of the Sages and stacked before the 'omer without the consent of the Sages, but the Sages did not forbid them to do it.
