Where I come from, people refer to the cut stalks left in the field after harvesting the corn as the "corn stobs."
I'm definitely not an expert, but from what I understand you can cut them down as soon as you harvest the corn. The stalk will not continue to produce as some other plants do. Once you harvest the existing ears of corn, the stalks are done. I just read a cute idea about saving the cut stalks and bundling them together for a fall / Halloween decoration :)
I picked corn a couple of days ago and one of my lower forearms is broke out in a rash. I sure hope it is corn rash. I am beginning to think it spread to my neck also. Itchy and blistered. Only showing up on my arm that was pulling the corn off the stalk. Very itchy.
i would cut them off

There is a certain type of shampoo and conditioner that fixes split ends........ Not sure what its called!! Sorry!!
There are many components that make up feed fro beef cattle, it really depends on where they are located, and the needs of the herd. Normally they are fed any feeds from the following list; corn, COB (corn, oats, barley mixture), insilage (corn cut from the field including stalks). Grains bought from feed stores may include molasses (for flavor) and added vitamins and minerals.
The combine replaced the use of the sickle to cut the stalks of grain by hand.
