Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers
d. At FBL Financial Group's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Class B
shareholders elected Keith R. Olsen as a Class B Director. Olsen is the
President of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation and previously served as an FBL
Class B Director from 2002 to 2004. Olsen replaces retiring director Frank S.
Priestley, and will serve as a member of FBL's Finance Committee and FBL's Class
B Nominating Committee. Mr. Olsen was elected a Class B director by the Class B
shareholders, pursuant to the terms of the Restated Class B Stockholders'
Agreement. Election of Class B directors is limited to five persons who are
presidents or officers of state Farm Bureau organizations which own, or whose
affiliates own, Class B shares. Mr. Olsen has no material interest in any prior,
existing or proposed transaction or series of transactions with FBL or its
management. A press release on FBL's Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Mr.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or By-laws; Change in Fiscal
Years
On May 16, 2007, the Board of Directors of FBL Financial Group unanimously
approved an amendment to the bylaws of the company to allow for the issuance and
transfer of uncertificated shares and thereby enable the Company to comply with
the direct registration program. A direct registration program allows for
book-entry ownership of stock or other securities. Shares are owned, recorded
and transferred electronically without issuance of physical stock certificates,
which enables investors and broker-dealers to effect transactions without the
risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates.
