Jim,
 
Wilbur-Ellis has a Total Nutrition System program that I am currently looking into.  They have a multitude of micronutrient products in liquid, solids and organics.  The liquid products are typically in 5 gal. containers.  They will ship UPS.  I think the closest distributor to you is in either Wisconsin or eastern South Dakota.  You can contact my rep out of Wisconsin and he could tell you about the products and also the closest location to you if you are interested.  His info is:

I also use seaweed for micronutrients.  Jim, I think Master Nurserymen products are still out here.  Because I grow organically, I order from my closest organic supplier (which I often mention here because of my familiarity with them) Peaceful Valley Farm Supply, at groworganic.com.  They definitely ship, have quantities like you’re looking for, and have a broad spectrum of fertilizers, plant nutrients, and soil amendments.  I feel that by using ‘whole’ fertilizers, rather than isolated nitrates, my plants get a good provision of micronutrients.   But these comments make the not-particularly-safe assumption that you want a micronutrient blend.  Individual nutrients to balance your soil specifically might be harder to come by.  If that’s what you’re looking for, I hope someone here will find you a source.

Sounds like seaweed extract to me. I have never been anywhere that it wasn't available locally, but I've never lived in a town of fewer than 500k people.

    When I lived in California, I could buy 2 pound bags of nearly any kind
of fertilizer, including micronutrients, anyone could want.  A company
called "Master Nurserymen" put it out but I haven't been able to connect
with anyone who will do mail-order.

    Do any of you know where I can buy small quantities of micronutrient
fertilizer (salts of zinc, cobalt, boron, manganese, molybdenum, copper,
iron, etc.)

    Thanks.
