organic matter is low, get that up by adding more organic matter:) (compost, manure, cover crops, etc). Ph of 7.4 is ok, add a little soil sulfer to bring it down to around 7.0 or so. Jimmy

Ca/Mg/K ratio is a little out...with your Ph high should be ok to add just gypsum and some potash..Mg is high relative to both the other numbers...wait for the heavy hitters to go through this...I just like to see how close I'm to getting the soil equations right. Grow Em Big!
