Not bad at all with a little depending on what the Lab used for chemistry.

With a 7.5 pH they should have used the Olsen chemistry ie sodium bicarbonate extractant.
In that case you would like to see 16 to 20 ppm P. Increase the P by 8 to 10 ppm will need 170 # P2O5. How you get therfe is up to you.

If their 30 CEC is reasonably close your calcium level of 3,430 is a little high but nothing exciting. For a 30 CEC I would look for 3,000 to 4,800 ppm Ca as long as you do not have any crops that are demanding of calcium that is ok.

Potasssium is low. with a 30 CEC you would like to see 160 ppm K. If you dump phosphate on the soil I would suggest at least the same amount of potash,

Plant wheat for a crop and use radishes or turnips to dig down and find some of your deficient elements.

Be sure to use tissue analysis to check what your crop is finding.
