Alex asks:
Objection (Rava) (bottom 48b): If we would know that it ate a bad patch, he would pay for a bad patch.... (first Rashi on 49a repeats)
but surely the Mishnah's position is that you would pay from Idis in such a case....hanizakin shamin lehem b'idis?!

The Kollel replies:
Sholom Rav,
The point Rava is making is, not that he pays from Ziburis, but that he pays for the bad patch that it ate - albeit from Idis.
