Exhibit 4(b)
                       LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
$20,000,000                                   February 25, 1994

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, MIDWEST GRAIN PRODUCTS,
INC., a Kansas corporation ("Borrower") hereby promises to pay to
the order of Commerce Bank of Kansas City, 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 Line of Credit Loan Agreement, as amended,
dated November 30, 1993 (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.  Interest will be computed
on the actual days outstanding based upon a year consisting of
360 days.

"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 October 1, 1997 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.
