Definitely corn, and gjersy looks spot on. I am by far no farmer but I seem to remember our corn plants being around 8 to 10 inches apart at the stalks. never seen 3 or 4 stalks popping up in the same spot. Only crops I deal with is winter wheat, rape, and clover and sometimes soybeans all for my food plots. Gotta keep my deer well fed! Fat and Sassy!

It's corn, looks like it was picked and the farmer didn't have his combine set properly so what you see is what went out the back and sprouted...
What is odd to me, is it seems to be early for them to be picking corn in Minnesota, unless maybe he cut it for silage then the timing is about right...
Was the field planted in corn in the spring??

OP said Hay still there in June. State is Minnesota I presume like the OPs location. Hay was taken off then a digger was used and corn planted with a drill rather than a corn planter Some times the sod will get in the drill drop tubes leaving spaces till the sod comes away then several seeds will drop in one place. The farmer will most likely chop it for ensilage just as soon as he can after the first frost.
Farmer has either dairy cattle or runs beef but my guess is dairy.
