Hmm...
I didn't notice any flowering - but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
These also appear to have been (unevenly) planted in rows. They're not consistent spacing - but they line up in rows.
I think clover is seeded with the cast method. Could clover being cast result in fairly (not completely, but definitely not natural) spacing like that? I'd guess the rows are 12" apart - maybe 18" apart.
They also aren't in straight rows - like they drove around in the shape of the field and planted 'em with some sort of planter implement?
I don't plant clover, either. We do have hay fields but, again, Mother Nature takes care of all that for us. Looking into cash crops of alfalfa and clover varieties (as well as to cut down on expenses 'cause we buy some for the horses) is actually on my list of shit to do - but I haven't gotten that far and I'll probably have the employees do the vast majority of research and make the final decision.

I suppose I'm not very helpful. Sorry 'bout that.
I did think it was potato, at first. Then, I noticed that it's not in mounds.
Ok, 2nd guess is clover. A common cover crop for fallow fields.
