If I'm understanding it right, based on what's in front of me, what numbers you have is what is currently in the soil. What you need to put on is an entirely different thing. The rates of what are needed are based on your crop and yield goal. If there is not a recommendation on the soil test, I would talk to your extension office or fertilizer rep to figure out what is needed.

Exactly.

You send a soil sample into TAMU (Texas A&M University) at a cost of $10 per bag and tell them what you expect to grow and the anticipated yield. They will reply via email with the results and it is a pretty prompt reply. Have the forms online. Tell you how to take the sample. They show you what you have and what you need to add to get what you are expecting. No where does it say that they are restricted to Texas residents. Can't beat a deal like that.
