Low ph is gonna be a tough one. My soils are 6.2 to 8.2 ph so I deal with the other side of that, but you might just need to spread some lime this fall and bite that bullet. Without good ph, all the fert in the world might not matter. Takes a little time for lime to work, so danged no mater which way you go on this, will cost you not to.......
As to P and K and S, banding it next to the row 2x2 would be your best bang for the buck. Your corn roots will hit it and suck it up in a nutrient rich band. That would be the best way to go. Some version of a strip till or with the planter. Or block off a drop feet spreader to match your rows. Something banded aside the row, preferably below the seed, nice rich band of nutrients.
Broadcast is for building the soil, what you put on this fall might be used over the next 3 years, as you keep adding some every year. Longer term deal to broadcast.
A soil test would sure be worthwhile. You got the right time for it right now.
Without a test, I guess put on removal rates of P and K for your crop yield. Charts all over you can find for that.
Innoculate beans well if you plant them, and any sort of N application for corn as that is a one year shot anyhow.

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
