I tested in 2024 and had nearly identical results as yours. I really wouldn't worry about it. I don't chemical drench. Just biologicals, and keep a close eye on things. I have a feeling that any patch that had been grown in a few years is going to have similar numbers.
I'm not saying I have zero disease pressure - sometimes things pop up - but overall, I manage.

That's silly they should have done a tissue test for you. It's nice they were trying to save you money but nutrients and disease are like having two hands. Sometimes you need both to get the job done.

Those numbers are actually really good compared to mine. You should do just fine Henry. I don't think a world record can be grown in that dirt but 2000 could easily!
Just get the right chemicals and talk to Woody.;)

Thank you for sharing, Henry. It would have been nice to know the results of a tissue test, as having more information is all the more powerful. I suppose it's possible that nutrient deficiencies made the plant more susceptible to the ailments in the report?
