Table data from Soil Survey of Paonia Area, Colorado, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, 1981.

A growing degree day is an index of the amount of heat available for plant growth. It can be calculated by adding the maximum and minimum daily temperatures, dividing the SUm
by 2, and subtracting the temperature below which growth is minimal for the principal crops in the area (4001').
