Default Corn Plant - House Plant Type - Propagation

I have what I only know as a Corn Plant in my home. I am assuming it is
a tropical houseplant. It has done very well since I received it 6 years
ago. My question is, I would like to propagate this plant and make another
one. I have several stalks coming from the main "trunk" of the plant,
including two which are right beside one another. I've had trouble finding
information on how to propagate this plant. If anyone has any helpful hints,
please let me know. Here are pics of the plant, where you can see the two
growing very near each other, I was considering cutting off the trunk and
planting, but don't know if this is the proper way to propagate.

Any help would be appreciated! I love this plant and it was given to me
by my husband for an Anniversary, so I would love to be able to make two of
a plant that I hold dear!
