1. For the Ferrellgas Partners L.P.("MLP"), the Common and Sunordinated are
considered to possess the characteristics of Common Stock.  Note that both are
included in the determination of the EPS providing support for such a
classification.
2.  For the Ferrellgas L.P. ("OLP"), ownership is maintained by the MLP and
Ferrellgas Inc., ("GP")  Thus, there is no market and no relevant
characteristics of either Common or Perferred Stock.  Classification is
reasonable.
3.  Ferrell Finance has no income statement items other than totals as their
only costs are G&A, and such costs are not required in the Financial Data
Schedule.
4.  Beginning in the Third Quarter, a determination was made that Deprec. &
Amort. and Vehicle leases are more appropriately reflected as costs and
expense related to sales and revenues.  Therefore, there will be no amounts
reported for item 5-03(b)3 "other costs/expenses".
