Nutrient by nutrient
The tests here for potassium and sulphur look like a testing error: almost every test reads the same, unlike the districts around. They aren't used.
Too few tests here to judge nitrogen (5 tests), phosphorus (5 tests), organic carbon (5 tests), pH (5 tests), salt (5 tests), zinc (5 tests), iron (5 tests), copper (5 tests), manganese (5 tests) and boron (5 tests).
