Oh, dude, those are called "cobsaw." It's like when corn is all harvested and you're left with these sad, dried-up stalks. Just imagine a field of cobsaw waving in the wind. It's like nature's way of saying, "Hey, summer's over, deal with it."
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 :)
To prepare asparagus for cooking, you should cut off the tough, woody ends of the stalks before cooking. This can be done by snapping off the ends where they naturally break or by cutting about 1-2 inches from the bottom of the stalks.

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.
