Commentary for Berakhot 69:11
קמה תוכיח מה לקמה שכן חייבת בחלה
Let, then, the instance of corn show [whether this point is material] ! But why [is a benediction required when partaking of food made from] corn ? Because there is the obligation of Hallah.
Abraham Cohen Footnotes to the English Translation of Masechet Berakhot
Cf. Lev. xix. 10. Since the gleanings have to be left behind, he must say a benediction over what he enjoys of the vineyard ; but the law of gleanings does not apply to other fruits, therefore the inference just drawn is not valid.

The law of gleanings does not apply to corn ; and yet a benediction is necessary over bread.
