                              OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE


     Pursuant to Section 12 of the Rights  Agreement  dated as of June 14, 1989,
as amended by the First  Amendment to Rights  Agreement dated as of September 4,
1990 and the Second  Amendment  to Rights  Agreement  dated as of March 29, 1994
(together,  the "Rights  Agreement")  between Casey's General Stores,  Inc. (the
"Company") and United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A. (now known as UMB Bank,
n.a.),  as  Rights  Agent  (the  "Rights  Agent"),  the  undersigned,  Donald F.
Lamberti,  Chief Executive Officer of the Company and John G. Harmon,  Corporate
Secretary  of the  Company,  hereby  certify  that the Board of Directors of the
Company,  by  resolution  duly adopted on December  22,  1997,  has declared and
authorized a two-for-one  stock split in the form of a 100% stock  dividend (the
"Stock  Dividend")  for  each  share of  Common  Stock  of the  Company  held by
shareholders of record on February 2, 1998 (the "Record  Date").  As a result of
the Stock  Dividend,  and in  accordance  with  Section  11(a)(i)  of the Rights
Agreement,  the Purchase Price (as defined in the Rights Agreement) in effect at
the time of the Record Date,  and the number of shares of Common Stock  issuable
on such date,  is being  proportionately  adjusted  (in the case of the Purchase
Price, from the existing Purchase Price of $55 per share to $27.50 per share) so
that the  holder of any Right (as  defined in the  Rights  Agreement)  exercised
after such time shall be entitled to receive the  aggregate  number of shares of
Common Stock which, if such Right had been exercised  immediately  prior to such
date and at a time when the Common  Stock  transfer  books of the  Company  were
open,  the  holder  would have owned upon such  exercise  and been  entitled  to
receive by virtue of such dividend.

     Attached  hereto is a copy of a Notice of Adjustment of Purchase Price (the
"Notice"), which Notice shall serve as the summary and the notice required under
Sections 12 and 25(a),  respectively,  of the Rights  Agreement.  This Notice is
being mailed by the Company to each holder of a Right Certificate (as defined in
the Rights  Agreement)  in accordance  with Section 25 of the Rights  Agreement,
such mailing being not less than 10 days before the Record Date.
