                            FBL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

                                 RELATING TO THE
                              ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
                           CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
                   SERIES B CUMULATIVE VOTING PREFERRED STOCK
                                       OF
                            FBL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

         Pursuant to Section 124 of the Iowa Business Corporation Act, the
undersigned Corporation adopts the following Articles of Correction.

1.       The name of the Corporation is FBL Financial Group, Inc.

2.       The title of the document to be corrected is: "Articles of Amendment,
         Certificate of Designations, Series B Cumulative Voting Preferred
         Stock." A copy of the document to be corrected is attached.

3.       The document to be corrected was filed by the Iowa Secretary of State
         on May 30, 1997.

4.       The incorrect statement in the document to be corrected is Section
         7(a).

5.       The reason that the document is incorrect is that said Section 7(a)
         erroneously included the following statement describing a fraction in
         which the numerator and the denominator were inadvertently reversed: "a
         fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Class A
         Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and the
         denominator of which is the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
         outstanding immediately after such event."

6.       The corrected statement of the document is as follows:

                  The description of the fraction should be revised. With this
                  correction, Section 7(a) shall read as follows:

         "(a)     In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to
                  time while any of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock
                  are outstanding, (i) pay any dividend or make a distribution
                  in respect of the Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A
                  Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Class A
                  Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Class
                  A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, in each case
                  whether by reclassification of shares, recapitalization of the
                  Company (including a recapitalization effected by a merger or
                  consolidation to which Section 6 hereof does not apply) or
                  otherwise, the




                                       2

                  voting rights of a share of Series B Preferred Stock in effect
                  immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted by
                  multiplying such voting right by a fraction, the numerator of
                  which is the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
                  outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator
                  of which is the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
                  outstanding immediately before such event. An adjustment made
                  pursuant to this paragraph 7(a) shall be given effect, upon
                  declaration of such a dividend or distribution, as of the
                  record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to
                  receive such dividend or distribution (on a retroactive basis)
                  and in the case of a subdivision or combination shall become
                  effective immediately as of the effective date thereof."

7.       These Articles are effective on the effective date of the document they
         correct, except as to persons relying on the incorrect document and
         adversely affected by the correction. As to those persons, these
         Articles are effective on the date of filing, as evidenced by the
         endorsement of the Iowa Secretary of State.
