Kansas City area. I won't be putting in the first planting of corn for a
couple weeks and the rest by May 10 (accepted area end of frost here). I
have a 4' tiller on the back of my John Deere that I will last till just
before each planting.

If they are poking their head out, a pre-emergent won't hurt them?

plant corn (3 plantings), a few tomatoes from plants, maybe a couple

Is there a pre-emergent that I can use just after the things I want are
above the ground, for the grass that won't kill everything else?

If it's a "pre-emergent", it won't kill anything that's already
germinated.
Depending on your location (you were more than a bit vague about that), it
/may/ be too late to apply. Then again, it may not.

When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to look like
a
nail.


I'd also make sure the pre-emergent is listed for use on vegetable
crops used for food.
