I have an opportunity to buy productive farm land. So far it's been used for cattle feed crops, mainly corn.  Would it be better to stay with this type of crops or maybe change to more human-edible, mixed crops?  What about herbs and medicinal plants?

Experiment, but I don't grow any crop until I know where I can sell it.  What would be the point if you didn't have a market.

those are very labor intensive crops. I like to plant oats very easy on your land low inputs

you need to look at the economy and see what crop would be the most profitable

You should probably check what's selling well (or more likely, what will sell well when you harvest your crop) and which of the best selling (most profit for you) crops have a market nearby where you can sell the crop. Don't let your profit be eaten up by transport costs. Also, as was pointed out earlier, don't let your profit be eaten up by a crop which is labor intensive (which will cost more).

know your customer.

the farmer before you knew his the cow

now if you stay with cow crops you will probably sell to farmers

and if you grow consumer crops will you sell to a store or have your own farm stand

growing medicinal plants and herbs is profitable but would have to find a market for them
