The provision

The lease of a piece of rural land, when its duration has not been fixed, is understood to have been for all the time necessary for the gathering of the fruits which the whole estate leased may yield in one year, or which it may yield once, although two or more years have to elapse for the purpose.

When farmland is leased without a set duration, the lease is understood to run for as long as is needed to gather one full harvest of what the whole property yields. This holds even for crops that take two or more years to be gathered a single time.
