I like the Calcium level. I wonder with the high pH if some of the micro nutrients may be locked up - especially Maganese and Boron and Iron... Also, that high pH will lock up Magnesium especially in a cold Spring. The levels look good but may be locked up. So, maybe you should apply some magnesium (epson salt) as a drench and foliar. And, some phosphorus... And micro-nutrients (like a mix o all micros or mule team borax, etc...) Did you recently applied composted manure?

yeah, i applied horse manure just recently before i took soil test, it was a mixture of cow and horse with shavings, brought ph up better. I added lots of sulphur so hopefully that will help a little throughout summer
