Half of it was broken up while the other half was sown, and [in the following year] half of it was broken up and the other half was sown. R'Hilkiah B'Tobi had a piece of land; one half he broke up and the other half he sowed, and [similarly in the following year] one half he broke up and the other half he sowed. It thus brought forth twofold, and he sold the wheat for fine flour.
