Corn Growing Degree Days This tool puts current conditions into a 30 -year historical perspective and offers trend projections through the end of the calendar year. Growing Degree Day (GDD) projections, combined with analysis of historical analog data, can help you make decisions about: Ø Climate Risks – Identify the likelihood of reaching maturity before frosts/freezes. Ø Activity Planning – Consider corn hybrid estimated physiological maturity requirements, along with GDD projections when making seed purchasing and other growing season decisions. Ø Marketing – Look at historical and projected GDD when considering forward pricing and crop insurance purchases. www. Ag. Climate 4 U. org
