Item 4. Change to the Registrant's Certifying Accountant

On March 5, 2003, Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. dismissed KPMG, LLP
("KPMG") as the Company's principal accountants and engaged McGladrey &
Pullen, LLP as the principal accountants.  The decision to change principal
accountants was recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the
Board of Directors.

In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended November 30,
2002 and 2001, and the subsequent interim period through March 5, 2003,
there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope
or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to KPMG's satisfaction,
would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its reports.

The audit reports of KPMG on the financial statements of the Company as
of and for the years ended November 30, 2002 and 2001 did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified
or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles.

On March 5, 2003 the Company engaged McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as the
Company's new principal accountants for the fiscal year 2003.  The
Registrant did not consult with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP regarding any
matters prior to its engagement.
