The TEC indicates a sandy loam with a poor OM presence. Do whatever you can to add organic matter to that soil.
In the cations, the Calcium and Magnesium are high and the Potassium low. This leads to a slightly alkaline soil with a pH of 7.1. The Potassium deficiency should be addressed with Sulfate of Potash (SOP, 0-0-50), applied monthly at 2 lbs/K, until September.
Phosphorus is good.
Iron is good, but right on the line where availability problems become serious (pH = 7.1).
In the micro’s, it’s only Boron. Get Twenty Mule Team Laundry Soap from the grocery and apply it at three tablespoons/K every 60 days. Read the Micronutrient Application Guide for application specifics.

Hey Andy my Potash sulf. I got in a granular form so am I ok with mixing that into my Milo along with the 20 mule team soap? Don't want to create a science class mistake lol.
