I wish I knew what to tell you, here is mine for comparison sake:

From the growers I've emailed, the only suggestion so far is to add some gypsum. The others agreed that I probably shouldn't touch it for this spring. That's fine with me! Jim

George,
I’d get about 50 lbs of dolomitic limestone (per 1000 sf) as soon as the patch is workable. This will raise the pH & bump up the Mg & Ca.
I’d also look for a PK fertilizer. Perhaps you can find a 5-30-30 or similar at 4 lbs/M.
The micros look OK but that Zn is awfully high.
