Most farm soil problems are pH related, then fertility. Soil tests cover both.

What is the difference between soil pH and soil fertility?
pH measures soil acidity/alkalinity (a single value). Fertility measures plant-available nutrients (multiple values). High fertility doesn't help if pH is wrong — plants can't access nutrients outside their optimal pH range. Adjust pH first, then fertility. They're related but distinct.
