Is it possible that what NC Extension is really saying is they don't have 
the ability to accurately test for boron.  Maybe you should try a private 
soils laboratory like www.algreatlakes.com or www.kaglab.com .  I suspect 
they'll tell you a different story.  Personally, and I have said this 
before, I have learned to distrust university soils labs; I have used 
several of them receiving less that favorable results.  Though I have lost 
confidence in the ones I've used, I hold the hope that some others are 
reliable.
