Low ph is gonna be a tough one. My soils are 6.2 to 8.2 ph so I deal with the other side of that, but you might just need to spread some lime this fall and bite that bullet. Without good ph, all the fert in the world might not matter. Takes a little time for lime to work, so danged no mater which way you go on this, will cost you not to.......
As to P and K and S, banding it next to the row 2x2 would be your best bang for the buck. Your corn roots will hit it and suck it up in a nutrient rich band. That would be the best way to go. Some version of a strip till or with the planter. Or block off a drop feet spreader to match your rows. Something banded aside the row, preferably below the seed, nice rich band of nutrients.

Innoculate beans well if you plant them, and any sort of N application for corn as that is a one year shot anyhow.
