Looking for some advice in reference to my soil test results. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Soil pH: 5.9
CEC: 14.1
Organic Matter: 5.7%
Phosphorus: 62 ppa
Potassium: 370 ppa
Calcium: 3,336 ppa
Magnesium: 538 ppa

According to what I have read do you think phosphorus should be increased and if so by doing what? Also would I benefitd from adding gypsum to increase calcium to 4,000 ppa? If gypsum is needed how much per acre would you recommend? Again thank you.

Nice numbers other than a little low on K. I have found mature wild and my seedlings to both be doing well with numbers very near them.
