Commentary for Avodah Zarah 108:6
ואידך ההוא מיבעי ליה למעוטי ערלה וכלאי הכרם שאם מכרן וקידש בדמיהן מקודשת
And as to the other opinion [how does he explain the word “it”]? He requires it for the exclusion of orlah and the mixed seeds a vineyard, so that if he sold them and with the proceeds betrothed a woman she is betrothed.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
The one that holds that animals used in exchange for animals used to acquire an idol are prohibited uses the word “it” (“it” is prohibited and not things exchanged for it) to exclude orlah (fruit during its first three years of growth) and mixed seeds planted in a vineyard. One may not derive benefit from either of these. But if one sells them (this is prohibited) and then uses the money to betroth a woman, the woman is betrothed. This proves that this money has value to its owner.
