Have you checked out places that sell home heating oil?? Should be lots of them in the yellow pages.

open the phone book. (not the internet phone book) and look up one of the following (fuel, oil, gas)
you may end up with a list of gas stations, vs actual distributors, or the distrubutors are mixed in the list. just start calling and asking. most likely after a few calls you might hit someone that will say "call A or B or C" for off road diesel. ((just make sure you have pen and paper quick and ready. due to they will most likely want to spout it off and move on to there actual customers))
the internet phone books, have way to many ad's and "service area" notations. which for me 90% of the time are a joke. a regular old paper phone book tends to be quicker and easier. granted you gotta flip through some pages.

I just called a local place in my area. They are selling off-road diesel for about 45 cents a gallon cheaper than the pump prices. It is UL Sulpher Amoco 50 Cetane.
Does anyone know what happens to an engine that is designed for ULS if you run LS or higher sulpher in it? I am guessing nothing happens, the sulpher adds lubricity, and adds to the emmisions, but does not harm the engine. We are talking about a tractor engine here, not an on-road engine with emissions equip.

wont hurt anything unless the engine has an aftertreatment system installed. If its just a catalyst...(i.e. 06 Dodge Cummins 5.9L) it can run LSD... If it has SCR system and/or DOC..... well,,,, probably not the best for it...
