Re: soil test
Don,
Your P:K ratio is a bit off, adding some DAP is a quick way to get the phosphorous more balanced with your potassium....the potassium can lock up the P and calcium in the soil if too high, it happened to me last year.
CEC is a little low, and Ca:Mg ratio should be around 7:1..I use epsom salts to raise my mag when needed but mag sulfate will do the trick.
Just my thoughts from the info provided.

I'm very high in most minerals except last year I showed low in iron. I added
ironite yesterday.
