The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting another downpour on Friday and Saturday with totals tipped to be up to 60 millimetres and 20 millimetres respectively.
And while the region's farmers are still riding the high of one of the biggest harvests in decades, the milder summer and higher rainfalls are yet another positive.
Elders agronomist Chris Toohey said 2020 was the best harvest for most growers in three generations.
"Record yields and prices at the same time and well and truly welcomed after a really tough few years," he said.
"Even though we are in a pretty reliable area here and we did alright in 2018 and 2019 compared to a lot of other areas it is all relative to our rainfall and price of land and that sort of thing."
"There is more positives than there is negatives out of the milder summer and heavy rainfall.

"You are building a moisture profile deep into the soil profile beyond the first 10 centimetres and that is important to give growers, agronomists and advisers some confidence to farm planning and inputs to what we can achieve out of the year.
"The rain certainly sets us up a bit."
The bureau is predicting between 35 and 60 millimetres to fall on the Border on Friday, while Saturday's forecast is between 3 and 20 millimetres.
