WC Mn/Dakotas | Your ph is high and adding lime will only make matters worse. MinnDak says it wont make it go higher than 8.2, but 7.8 is a whole lot better than 8.2. Im assuming your by Kent, so if you needed lime you wouldn't have the hauling expense that a farmer further away would have.
Gypsum is more expensive and has less ca, but it wont raise your ph, plus it has sulfur, so that needs to be factored in. You will need to have someone figure out how much gypsum you need and maybe amortize that amount out over at least 2-3 years if it is a large quantity or however more it takes cash flow.
Phos is getting real close to being detrimentally high. Being this is a composite sample, I know for a fact that you have zones that have been low producers and you have P-Olsen levels way higher. On the other side, you have zones that are real producers, and are in need of more p2o5 than you have been applying.
Beyond that I would agree with Brad.
