Do crops/grain planted in a majority of an enclosed space nullify its mukaf l'dirah status?
Synopsis
Trees do not nullify dwelling status even if planted throughout. Grain/crops nullify it when planted in the majority, or when the planted minority exceeds two seahs. A minority planted area of two seahs or less is permitted if the overall area is not more than two seahs.
