Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) Kim M. Robak, since 2006 a Class A Director of FBL Financial Group, Inc., notified the Company May 6, 2009 of her immediate resignation from the Board of Directors and withdrawal of her name as a director nominee at FBL's May 20, 2009 annual shareholder meeting. Ms. Robak, a lawyer in Lincoln, NE, accepted an appointment to the Boards of Directors of UNIFI Mutual Holding Company, its subsidiary, Ameritas Holding Company, and its subsidiary, Ameritas Life Insurance Company, all headquartered in Lincoln, NE. These companies are direct competitors to FBL Financial Group and its insurance company subsidiaries, creating a conflict for continuing Board involvement by Ms. Robak. She was previously a board member of an Ameritas subsidiary doing business only in New York, which was not in competition with the FBL companies. The FBL Corporate Governance and Class A Nominating Committee is expected to nominate a candidate for election by the Board to fill this vacancy after the shareholders meeting.
