With that said, our soil tests this year called for almost no nitrogen after several years of leaving the disk in the weeds
Normal soil test does not show the amount of nitrogen in your soil. It makes a recommendation for the amount of nitrogen you will need dependent on the crop you are growing and your soil type. If you said you were planting soybeans, winter peas or say clover then it would not recommend a very high nitrogen rate. If you stated you intended crop was wheat or corn then it would recommend a high nitrogen application.
But yes a no till system will make nitrogen more available to the plant if you have a high organic content.

The desired crop on the test was not legumes. ;)

Like you said. The only “tests I have ever seen/been around that read Nitrogen levels were plant tissue samples. I’m not saying they don’t make them, but I haven’t seen one or I just haven’t spent enough money to see it.
