Brief Insight
FOLLOWING THE MINHAG

If someone leases a field he must weed the field even if he gives the owner the full amount of the lease because the owner can say I don't want weeds in my field. The Tosfos Yom Tov says he is only obligated to weed the field in a place where there is no known Minhag. However, in a place where the Minhag is that the sharecropper doesn't weed the field he is not obligated to weed the field because we always follow the Minhag.
Quick Halachah
A PILE OF GRAIN

If a sharecropper receives a field but it produces very little, if it produces two Se'ah besides his expenses the sharecropper must work the field because he writes (in his contract) that I will put a pile of grain in front of you and you will take your share. Even if he didn't write that it is the same as if he wrote it. (Shulchan Aruch CM 328:1)

The Chachamim estimate that two Se'ah besides the expenses is enough for a pile of grain and he must work the field. (Sma)
Chakirah
If two people receive money together for an Iska and they make a profit he may not force his partner to divide up the principle or the profits and if his partner wants to reinvest the profits he may do so. Why doesn't the Gemara state a case that one person who receives money for an Iska may not force the investor to divide up the principle or the profits? Why does the Gemara choose a case that two people were given an Iska?
