All you guys have to do is call your local farm co-op and ask where to get agricultural gypsum.
I got a chuckle out of you guys in Colorado who can't find gypsum. Ever heard of Gypsum, CO, where they mine it? All the wheat farmers in the Eastern part of Colorado spread it on their fields, buying hundreds of tons at a time. Even in Washington state I can get all my pickup truck can carry for under $100.
Granular or pelleted agricultural gypsum is preferred. You're not using it for beer brewing. If you pay over $6 for a 50 pound bag, they're screwing your eyes out. RR

I went to my local Southern States today to get gypsum and while doing a U turn I ran into a gypsum manufacturing supply company. It's too bad it's Sat. and they were closed! I will contact them on Mon. Thanks RR.

I wondered why my vision was blurred..In the UK I pay around $16 US for 6kg, still good value at that price. (not if you have an RR style farm I'm sure...).
For PF that amount would last hundreds of 1/2 pint cakes, even at eye-screwing prices.
The stuff I get is agricultural, a very fine powder, as I said it's used for making clay-based soils more manageable. Didn't realise OP was in Co. Get diggin'!
