DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES
          This post-effective amendment relates to FBL Financial Group, Inc.’s (the “Registrant”) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-1208161) (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 22, 2003, relating to 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, no par value (the “Shares”) of the Registrant reserved for issuance under the Registrant’s 1996 Class A Common Stock Compensation Plan (the “1996 Plan”). Of the 5,000,000 Shares registered in connection with the 1996 Plan, 3,387,227 have not been issued and are not subject to future issuance under the 1996 Plan. This post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) is hereby filed to deregister an aggregate of 3,387,227 Shares previously registered that have not been issued and will not in the future be issued under the 1996 Plan.
          Prior to the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Registrant approved and adopted the 2006 Class A Common Stock Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Pursuant to Rule 457(p) of Regulation C and Section 4.5 of the EDGAR Filer Manual (Volume II February 2006), the filing fee paid in connection with the initial registration of the 3,387,227 Shares will be carried forward and offset against the filing fee required for the registration statement on Form S-8 filed on or about the date hereof in connection with the registration of Shares that may be issued under the 2006 Plan. However, Shares previously registered under the Registration Statement that are not being deregistered hereby remain subject to outstanding options granted under the Registrant’s 1996 Plan. Accordingly, the Registration Statement will remain in effect to cover the potential exercise of such outstanding options or purchase of Shares.
