Soil tests


Hello everyone!   
I recieved my soil tests yesterday.  I'm not sure, but I think I have some work ahead of me.  If you recall, I recently purchased a new house with ten acres and now I have to start over preparing it for AGs.  Since I didn't have the fall to prepare the soil, I had the test done to give me an idea of what I am working with.  I realize that I don't have much time to prepare the soil, but I have to do the best I can with what I have.  The soil test is posted below.  What I need to know is what to add as far as fertilizers and such, and what kind of fertilizers.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I don't really know what to all add yet to whip it up into shape before planting.  Keep in mind that I haven't added any manure yet.  I do plan on adding alot of aged cow and horse manure mix before planting.  Please email me at g*@bytrehead.com as not to clutter the list.  Thank you very much.
