Most areas received only a few millimetres over the weekend, although there were isolated spots with significant falls.

Strathalbyn has recorded 23.2mm for May and Warooka on the Yorke Peninsula 20.6mm.

This comes after the Anzac Day break dumped 30 to 50mm in most regions, with only pastoral areas and the eastern Eyre Peninsula missing out.

Weatherzone meteorologist Matt Pearce said this week might bring only a few millimetres in coastal areas, clearing today.

"It will be a dry weekend pretty much Statewide," he said. "The next strongish system is expected to come through in the middle of next week, but it's not looking like anything massive. "It might bring 10mm to coastal areas and up to 5mm in other agricultural areas."

Mr Pearce said no widespread substantial falls were likely in the next couple of weeks,

South Australian No-Till Farmers' Association president Simon Patterson, Streaky Bay, said he received about 45mm with the opening break, but only a few millimetres in the past week.

"We dry- sowed some oats for sheep feed – about 800 hectares – and that's looking quite good at the moment," he said.

"We actually started seeding on Anzac Day. We've got 1600ha in so far and about another 4800ha to go."

Mr Patterson said he was experimenting with wider row spacings when seeding his canola this season.

He decided to go down this route, after hearing about 75 centimetre spacings resulting in increased water-use efficiency while on a SANTFA tour. But, he was not going that wide, trialing 45cm spacings, alongside the usual 22cm spacings, to compare the results.

"We're also going to variable-rate technology on some paddocks this year," he said.

"We're trying to keep our costs down on the lower performing parts of the paddock."

While peas have been sown in the past, they had been left out of the program this year.

"I'm waiting on better varieties to come out, ones that are more drought-tolerant and better-suited to our area," he said.
