You can do it by using loop for n times in your form. Like:

<% n= 10 %>
<%= form_tag url: "/products",method: :post do|f| %>
  <% (0..n).times do |i| %>
    <label> Name </label>
    <%= text_field_tag "products[][:name]"%>
  <% end %>

  <%= submit_tag "Create Products" %>  
<% end %>

And, in products controller, Write following code

def create
  @products = Product.create(params[:products])
end

Try to use Faker gem and simple rake task /lib/tasks/task.rake with following code: 

namespace :db do
  desc "Fill database with sample data"
  task populate: :environment do
    make_items
  end
end

def make_items

  99.times do |n|
    name  = Faker::Name.name

    Item.create!(name: name)
  end
end
