Item 2.02.     Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On February 2, 2009, FBL Financial Group, Inc. issued a news release announcing that it has rescheduled its fourth quarter 2008 earnings release and conference call dates. In conjunction with this news release, FBL stated that it expects to record a significant and unanticipated charge in connection with the unlocking of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. Additionally, certain fourth quarter 2008 investment valuation results, including impairments and unrealized losses, were estimated and disclosed. The news release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. 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.

Certain statements made by FBL in this filing are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed in FBL’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the current difficult financial markets, the economy, liquidity and access to capital, investment valuations, interest rate changes, competitive factors, the ability to attract and retain sales agents and a decrease in ratings. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions which FBL Financial Group believes to be reasonable. No assurance can be given that the assumptions will prove to be correct.

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.
