A bizarre case out of Bay County, MI, as investigators believe someone sabotaged a cornfield in what could have been an attempt to injure or kill cows, reports ABC 12.

Investigators say a dairy farmer discovered pieces of metal attached to stalks of corn in three farm fields in Bay and Arenac counties. The metal was attached to the corn stalks with blue zip ties.

Some of the harvested crop was put through farm machinery before the pieces of metal were discovered and the grinding noise in this processor alerted the farm workers that something was wrong.

The farm owner believes they caught most of the metal before it got into the cattle’s feed, but some of the shavings most likely got into the feed for his 3,000 to 4,000 cows.
