Late (very) corn issue

It is now late Autumn here in New Zealand. We have had a few light
frosts, 2 degrees at night. We are within 1 month of heavy frosts, below
0 degrees.
Issue, I have some (very) late corn in. I started it late as an
experiment. The cobs are fully or near fullt formed but still white
inside. I do not think they will ripen from here.
Question, what to do with the crop? I could pull it out now or wait for
the frost to do that and use it as a green manure.
Any suggestions welcome.

It sounds like your corn is too mature to use the whole cob as a
vegetable, unfortunately. Those little 2-to-4-inch cobs can be tasty.
Some people pickle them.
As it is, I'd guess you've got a crop of silage.
