you can use feed corn when it is still kind of green for green corn tamales, but it is super hard and starchy - no flavor like sweet corn at all.

Most folks are cool if you say something first - or like you mentioned - gleaning after harvest, but watch it in orchards if you don't have permission. Fruit and nuts tend to have a higher $ value and tend to get more "protection".
