Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company and Western Agricultural Insurance Company, companies affiliated with and managed by FBL Financial Group, Inc., have adopted a stock selling plan. This plan covers disposition of up to 499,000 shares of FBL Financial Group Class A common stock. Of these shares, 357,000 are owned by Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company and 142,000 are owned by Western Agricultural Insurance Company.

Sales under the plan are subject to a prearranged minimum sales price and will be limited to no more than 125,000 shares per 90 day period. Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company currently owns 727,362 shares and Western Agricultural Insurance Company currently owns 167,254 shares of FBL Financial Group Class A common stock. They are selling a portion of their shares in order to diversify their investment portfolios as their ownership interest in FBL Financial Group has become disproportionate due to the appreciation in FBL’s stock price over the last several years.

This stock selling plan was adopted in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 10b5-1 permits the implementation of prearranged written agreements for trading securities in a non-discretionary manner by insiders when the insiders are unaware of material, nonpublic information.





This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
