Just got these back from UT. Guess next fall I'll sow even more clover. I was a little surprised on the pH - considering the amounts of rain we've gotten - and the fact I haven't limed in three years..

pH - 7.1
P - 120+
K - 320+
Ca - 1280+
Mg - 64+
Zn - 15.1
Cu - .2
Fe - 35
Mn - 61

Only recommendations for improvement for the growth of squash - was adding 30-40 lbs N per acre.

Oops, forgot the bottom line:

organic matter: 6.7%
Soluble salts: 252

Keep working on OM. Use organics to build the soil while reducing the poison salts to the lowest possible level. A carefull application of Humic Acid will free up N P K existing in your OM. Cover crops and mulching all fit in to work with remineralization and the use of supportive fungi. Remineralization is likely more important in the trace minerals area. I use Azomite, Greensand and Ironite in rotation per yearly application. I don't see any important red flags in your soil report.
