Exhibit 4.2
                              LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
                              -------------------
$20,000,000                                                    December 20, 1999

FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  the  undersigned,  MIDWEST GRAIN  PRODUCTS,  INC., a Kansas
corporation  ("Borrower")  hereby promises to pay to the order of Commerce Bank,
N.A.  ("Bank") at its offices in Kansas City,  Missouri,  the  aggregate  unpaid
principal amount and accrued interest of all borrowings hereunder. The aggregate
unpaid principal amount shall also become  immediately due and payable,  without
demand or further  action on the part of Bank upon the occurrence of an event of
default as set forth in Section  4.1 of the Sixth  Amended  Line of Credit  Loan
Agreement, as amended, dated as of December 20, 1999 (the 'Agreement").

Interest on this note shall be  calculated  on the actual  number of days on the
basis of a year of 360 days. If the  outstanding  balance is less than $500,000,
the line of credit  shall bear  interest  at a per annum rate equal to the Prime
Rate.  If the  outstanding  balance is $500,000  or greater,  the line of credit
shall bear  interest at the greater of either (1) the Prime Rate,  minus 1 %, or
(2) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.50%.

Interest  will be payable  monthly,  in  arrears,  and at  maturity,  whether by
acceleration  or otherwise,  beginning  January 1, 2000, and on the first day of
each month thereafter.  Interest will be computed on the actual days outstanding
based upon a year  consisting of 360 days. If any interest  payment on this note
shall  become  due and  payable  on a day which is not a  business  day of Bank,
payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day of Bank.

"Prime Rate" means the Prime Rate of interest  established  from time to time by
Commerce  Bank and  designated  as such  for its  internal  convenience,  and no
representation  is made that the Prime Rate is the best, the lowest or a favored
rate of interest.  The rate of interest, if tied to the Prime Rate, shall change
with and be effective on the date of each change in the Prime Rate.

"Federal  Funds Rate" means the  effective  Federal  Funds Rate as quoted by the
Federal  Reserve  Bank of New York on a daily basis.  The Federal  Funds Rate is
adjusted daily.

So long as the Agreement has not been terminated, Borrower may, from the date of
this note through  November 1, 2001 borrow,  repay and reborrow sums, at any one
time  outstanding,  not to  exceed  $20,000,000.  All  advances  and  repayments
hereunder  shall be endorsed on the reverse hereof (or an attached  schedule) by
the Bank or holder,  and between the undersigned and Bank, such endorsements and
the balances derived from such  endorsements  shall be conclusively  presumed to
reflect the amounts  advanced and repaid  hereunder and the then outstanding and
unpaid balance of sums advanced or readvanced hereunder.

The  undersigned  hereby  waives  presentment,  protest,  demand  and  notice of
dishonor or default.

This note is issued pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,  to which Agreement,
and any  amendments  thereto,  reference  is hereby made for a statement  of the
terms and conditions under which this borrowing was made, and is to be repaid.

                                            MIDWEST GRAIN PRODUCTS, INC.
