There's a ton of little ants all over the grain, is it going to hurt to plant? Is there a way of getting rid of them without harming the plant?

Probably aphids. The ants farm the aphids. The ants are not the problem but too many aphids can be. They can be removed by blasting them with water. It's also recommend planting other things alongside the corn that will bring in those beneficial insects that will consume the aphids as bio control. Keep it organic! Cheers.
