Diatomaceous Earth (sources to buy) in INDIANA

1. Martinsville, Indiana Morgan County Feed Store 50# for $32

2. Graber's Hunting Supply (William Graber)
248 North 1050 East
Loogootee, IN 47553
Telephone 812-486-3606
Don't use the Google map directions
Driving directions to Loogootee, Indiana to buy food grade diatomaceous earth:
If you live in Indiana, do not use a Google map to get to the DE source in Loogootee, Indiana; it sent me on a wild goose chase, wasting HOURS of my time. Graber's Hunting Supply is northwest of Loogootee. Google map directions sent me about twelve miles south of Loogootee.
Thanks to a mailman (luck), I FINALLY found it. I bought two 50# bags for $21.95 each plus tax. When I left, I checked my odometer for tenths of miles on each road back and wrote NEW directions.
USE THESE DIRECTIONS, AND IT WILL BE EASY TO FIND:

Coming from the north on Highway 37, go 2.8 miles past the Bedford, Indiana, to exit S. R. 50 and turn right (west).
Drive 28.1 miles on S.R. 50 to and through S. R. 231 in Loogootee, IN. Stay on S. R. 50 another 1.6 miles until you come to Road 1200 East, turn right and go 5.6 miles north until you come to Road 600 North. Turn left on 600 North and go 1 1/2 miles to Road 1050 East. Turn right and go 1/4 mile north; there you will see the house and large barns on the right (corner of 1050 East and 625 North); the address is 6248 North 1050 East.

Coming from anywhere else, find your way to Loogootee, Indiana. Go to the intersection of S.R. 231 and S.R. 50 and go west on S.R. 50 1.6 miles to Road 1200 East... Follow the directions above from there.

WARNING! Coming from S. R. 50, there is no other way to get to Rd. 1050 East but off of 600 North, i.e., 1050 East is VERY short (about 1,000 feet) and does not go through to S.R. 50 or ANY other road from S.R. 50; however, there are some complicate backroad routes coming from the north that lead into the 625 North road; good luck if you try to use those back roads.

************
You can buy food grade DE in the Shipshewana area at FD Miller's Feed & Supply. I don't know their prices.
************
You can also get food grade DE fm Garden Harvest Supply in Berne, IN. Their website is GardenHarvestSupply.com . Their price is REALLY high if that's for pickup:
http://www.gardenharvestsupply.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=11
Diatomaceous Earth, Food Grade—5-lb. Bag Price $10.00
Diatomaceous Earth, Food Grade—50-lb. Bag Price $55.00
I just checked their delivery for 50 pounds: They wanted $18 for UPS delivery to me here in Indiana. OUCH! That's $73.00.
I only paid $21.95 for a 50# bag in Loogoottee, Indiana .

Thank You So Much!

I think you'll get mixed opinions on this question. To my knowledge, there are no proven studies that DE will resolve a worm infestation internally. DE is a dry substance, typically used in dry conditions for use in foods and external parasites (via direct appication and dust bathing).​
