Trampling grain to remove the outer skin, and other threshing... Plus, the issue of muzzling animals, and how that's complicated by issues of terumah, ma'aser, ma'aser sheni, etc. And where prohibitions kick in.

Bava Metzia 90: Muzzle It!

The daf contains a series of baritot expounding the work “B’Disho” in order to teach a variety of different halachot. Then a discussion if a worker is allowed to salt or toast the produce being picked.
