Brocklesby farmer Gary Drew planted canola in April, experiencing some split germination.
"We had good rain in March, so we had some subsoil moisture, and yes, it was a little bit dry in April, but we'd take that any year," he said.
"When we sowed it, most of it came up, but it was a little bit dry.
"This rain has been fantastic - we're really happy with where the crops are."
The Agricultural forecasts and outlook June quarter flags a 75 per cent chance of between 50 and 200 millimetres between June and August in NSW, with rainfall and stored soil moisture "likely to be sufficient to support above average crop and pasture production across most of Australia's cropping regions".
Oilseed prices are forecast to remain historically high in 2021-22, following a near-record $35.5 billion gross value of crop production, boosted by Australia's second-biggest winter crop on record and relatively high world grain and oilseed prices.
Grains, oilseeds and pulses accounted for 50 per cent of the value of crop production.
Mr Drew, who grows canola, wheat and lupin at 'Northwood', said last year's harvest was a standout one.
"It rained when we wanted it to rain; it couldn't have been a more perfect season," he said.
"Because there wasn't a lot of grain in the system in Australia, there wasn't a lot of downward pressure on prices.
"It's not very often you have a set of circumstances where the prices are strong, and your yield is strong.
"The world market is a bit tight with grain at the moment; that's underpinning (prices) even going forward this year.
"For canola to sell at well over $700, when we're usually happy if we can start at $600, that's an opportunity."
Mr Drew is hopeful for another strong season.
Meanwhile he is winding back on sheep to increase his cropping program as a "lifestyle decision".
"There's lots of pieces of the puzzle that have to come together to get another great harvest," he said.
"If we were to get anything like last year's harvest, that would be really something out of the box.
"Every year people are forecasting what's going to happen and what's not going to happen - whether it affects us locally is another thing.
