I'd plant the cheapest medium red clover you can find, and do it immediately, if the field is close to dry enough. Clover will be cheaper than alfalfa, and if you get good growth this fall ( i've seen it get waist high in WI) you can credit 50 to 80 lb of N for next years corn crop. 50 lb would be a safe number if the stuff is knee high by freeze time. That will more than cover your seed cost, and I think you will see a yield bump in the corn as well.
If the stuff gets up and growing well, you may be able to do some LIGHT manure application out there, too.
Clover and alfalfa both have root systems that were compaction breakers long before today's "tillage radish".
