GROWING DEGREE DAYS- 1961-1990 AVERAGE COMPARED WITH 2002
The 30 year estimated mean average GDD for all stations during May for corn was 8.3/day. If you want to estimate the 30 year estimated mean GDD for a particular field which emerged on May 24, for example, then subtracting 8.3 GDD/day X 14 days, will give you a close estimate at your location against the actual GDD for 2002 which you can extract from the NDAWN web site.
