To elect four directors to hold office until the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified; 2. To consider and vote on a non-binding resolution to approve the compensation of Seaboard's named executive officers, as disclosed in Seaboard's proxy statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; 3. To consider and act upon ratification and approval of the selection of KPMG LLP as the independent auditors of Seaboard for the year ending December 31, 2014; 4. To consider and act upon a stockholder proposal, if introduced at the meeting, as described in the accompanying proxy statement; and 5. To transact such other business as properly may come before the meeting. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on February 25, 2014, as the record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting. By order of the Board of Directors, David M. Becker, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary March 11, 2014 YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE MEETING, PLEASE FOLLOW THE SPECIFIC VOTING INSTRUCTIONS APPEARING ON THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO ENSURE YOUR REPRESENTATION AT THE MEETING. IMPORTANT NOTICE Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials For the Stockholder Meeting to be held on April 28, 2014 This notice of annual meeting and accompanying proxy materials are available to you on the Internet. We encourage you to review all of the important information contained in the proxy materials before voting. Our Company's Proxy Statement, Annual Report and other proxy materials to Stockholders are available at: www.seaboardcorp.com (under "Investors" and "SEC Filings" tabs) SEABOARD CORPORATION 9000 West 67th Street Shawnee Mission, Kansas 66202 PROXY STATEMENT ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS APRIL 28, 2014 March 11, 2014 Date, Time and Place of the Meeting This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the annual meeting of stockholders of Seaboard Corporation ("Seaboard") to be held on Monday, April 28, 2014, commencing at 9:00 a.m., local time, and at any adjournment thereof. The meeting is called for the purposes set forth in the foregoing Notice of Annual Meeting, and will be held at the Westin Waltham, 70 3rd Avenue, Waltham, Massachusetts. You may obtain directions to the location of the annual meeting by calling us at (913) 676-8800. Stockholders Entitled to Vote at the Meeting Stockholders of record as of the close of business on the February 25, 2014 record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting and at any adjournment thereof. Seaboard had 1,187,434.24 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date. Each such share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly to come before the annual meeting. This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy were first sent or given to stockholders on or about March 11, 2014. Quorum Requirement A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A majority of our outstanding shares of common stock on the record date, or 593,717.24 shares, will be needed to establish a quorum for the annual meeting. Votes cast at the annual meeting will be tabulated by persons duly appointed to act as inspectors of election and voting for the annual meeting. The inspectors of election and voting will treat shares represented by a properly signed and returned proxy as present at the annual meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, without regard to whether the proxy is marked as casting a vote or abstaining. Likewise, the inspectors will treat shares of stock represented by proxies reflecting one or more "broker non-votes" as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Broker non-votes are proxies with respect to shares held in record name by brokers or nominees, as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote with respect to one or more matters; (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power under applicable national securities exchange rules or the instrument under which it serves in such capacity; and (iii) the record holder has indicated on the proxy card or otherwise notified Seaboard that it does not have authority to vote such shares on such matter or matters. Attending the Meeting and Voting in Person If you plan to attend the annual meeting and vote in person, we will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee (commonly referred to as being held in "street" name), proof of ownership may be required for you to be admitted to the meeting. A recent brokerage statement and letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of ownership. If you want to vote your shares of common stock held in street name in person at the meeting, you will have to get a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other nominee who holds your shares. Voting by Proxy The Board of Directors solicits your proxy in the form enclosed for use at the annual meeting. You may vote your shares by completing the proxy card with your vote, signature and date, and returning it by mail in the envelope provided, or you can follow the instructions on the proxy card to cast your vote via the Internet or telephone. Any stockholder giving a proxy in accordance with the enclosed form may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. A stockholder may revoke his or her proxy by delivering to the Secretary of Seaboard a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. A duly completed proxy will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. Where a stockholder's voting instructions are not specified in the completed proxy, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted "for" the election of the nominees for director listed herein, "for" ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as independent auditors for 2014, "for" the advisory approval of the compensation of our executives disclosed in this proxy statement and "against" the stockholder proposal described herein that requests Seaboard to report its charitable, political and lobbying contributions. The Board of Directors does not know of any matters that will be brought before the meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, or their substitutes acting thereunder, will vote on such matter in accordance with their discretion and judgment. If your shares of common stock are held in street name, you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. Seaboard will bear all expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including preparing, assembling and mailing this proxy statement. After the initial mailing of this proxy statement, proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or personally by directors, officers, employees or agents of Seaboard. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners of shares held of record by them, and their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be paid by Seaboard. Vote Required A favorable plurality of votes cast (a number greater than those cast for any other candidates) is necessary to elect members of the Board of Directors. Accordingly, abstentions or broker non-votes as to the election of directors will not affect the election of the candidates receiving the plurality of votes. The other proposals set forth herein require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting. Shares represented by broker non-votes as to such matters 2 are treated as not being present for the purposes of such matters, while abstentions as to such matters are treated as being present but not voting in the affirmative. Accordingly, the effect of broker non- votes is only to reduce the number of shares considered to be present for the consideration of such matters, while abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the matter. PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS The following table sets forth certain information as of January 31, 2014 (unless otherwise indicated below) regarding the beneficial ownership of Seaboard's common stock by the only persons known to us to own beneficially 5 percent or more of Seaboard's common stock.

S.

(3) The information with respect to the holdings of FMR LLC is provided as of December 31, 2013, based on a Schedule 13G filed by FMR LLC with the SEC on February 14, 2014. FMR LLC reports that, of the 60,800 shares beneficially owned, it has sole voting power with respect to 13,200 shares and sole dispositive power with respect to all 60,800 shares. Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC and an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Investment Advisers Act"), is the beneficial owner of 47,600 shares as a result of acting as investment adviser to various investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Edward C. Johnson 3d (Chairman of FMR LLC) and FMR LLC, through its control of Fidelity, and the funds each have sole power to dispose of the 47,600 shares owned by the funds. Members of the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d are the predominant owners, directly or through trusts, of Series B common shares of FMR LLC, representing 49 percent of the voting power of FMR LLC. The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders of FMR LLC have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Series B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Series B shares. Neither FMR LLC nor Edward C. Johnson 3d has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of the shares owned directly by the Fidelity funds, which power resides with the funds' Boards of Trustees. Fidelity carries out the voting of the shares under written guidelines established by the funds' Boards of Trustees. Pyramis Global Advisors, LLC ("Pyramis"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC and an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act, is the beneficial owner of 13,200 shares as a result of its serving as investment manager of institutional accounts, non-U.S. mutual funds or investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 owning such shares. Edward C. Johnson 3d and FMR LLC, through its control of Pyramis, each has sole dispositive power over 13,200 shares and sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 13,200 shares owned by the institutional accounts of funds advised by Pyramis, as reported above.

ITEM 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Effective January 27, 2014, our Board of Directors has reduced the number of directors from five to four directors, and has nominated the persons set forth below for election at the annual meeting. The reduction in the number of directors was due to the death of director Joseph E. Rodrigues during 2013. Unless otherwise specified, proxies will be voted in favor of the election as directors of the following four persons for a term of one year and until their successors are elected and qualified. Principal Occupations and Positions and Specific Experience, Qualifications, Director Name Age Attributes or Skills Since _______________________________________________________________________________ Steven J. Bresky 60 Director, Seaboard Corporation; President and 2005 Chief Executive Officer (since July 2006), Seaboard Corporation; Manager, Seaboard Flour (since 2006). Mr. Bresky is particularly qualified to be a Director of Seaboard based on his experience in working for Seaboard for more than 30 years, including acting as President of Seaboard Corporation and as President of Seaboard's Overseas Division. 5 David A. Adamsen 62 Director and Member of Audit Committee, 1995 Seaboard Corporation; former Vice President-Wholesale Sales (January 2009-2010), C&S Wholesale Grocers (wholesale food distribution company). Mr. Adamsen has worked for more than 35 years in the food, food distribution, and food manufacturing businesses. His experience and knowledge make him qualified as a Director for Seaboard. Douglas W. Baena 71 Director and Chairman of Audit Committee, 2001 Seaboard Corporation; self-employed (since 1997), engaging in facilitation of equipment lease financings and consulting, doing business as CreditAmerica Corporation. Mr. Baena has an educational background in accounting and has experience working as a Certified Public Accountant. He also has experience arranging lease financing transactions for companies. This accounting and finance background provides experience and attributes which are desirable for a Seaboard Director. Edward I. Shifman, Jr. 70 Director and Member of Audit Committee, 2009 Seaboard Corporation. Mr. Shifman is retired and has experience working as a banker for more than 30 years for various financial institutions, providing experience qualifying him to serve as a Director. Edward I. Shifman, Jr. is a first cousin of Steven J. Bresky. There are no arrangements or understandings between any nominee and any other person pursuant to which such nominee was nominated. In case any person or persons named herein for election as directors are not available for election at the annual meeting, proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee or nominees (unless the authority to vote for all nominees or for the particular nominee who has ceased to be a candidate has been withheld), as well as for the balance of those named herein. Management has no reason to believe that any of the nominees for the election as director will be unavailable. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote for the election as directors of the four persons listed above. BOARD OF DIRECTORS INFORMATION Meetings of the Board The Board of Directors held five meetings in fiscal 2013, three of which were telephonic meetings. Other actions of the Board of Directors were taken by unanimous written consent, as 6 needed. Each director attended more than 75 percent of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he served. Seaboard does not have any policy requiring directors to attend Seaboard's annual meeting of stockholders, although generally the directors have attended Seaboard's annual stockholders' meetings. All directors attended the 2013 annual meeting. Controlled Corporation Seaboard is a "controlled corporation," as defined in the rules of the NYSE MKT, because more than 50 percent of the voting power of Seaboard is owned by the Seaboard Flour Entities. As such, Seaboard is exempted from many of the requirements regarding Board of Director committees and independence. The members of our Board of Directors who are independent within the meaning of the NYSE MKT listing standards are David A. Adamsen, Douglas W. Baena and Edward I. Shifman, Jr. Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight Steven J. Bresky serves as both Seaboard's principal executive officer and Chairman of the Board. Steven J. Bresky is the beneficial owner of approximately 76.0 percent of Seaboard, and has more than 30 years' experience with Seaboard. Seaboard does not have a lead independent director. Seaboard believes that Steven J. Bresky has a sufficient vested interest in Seaboard on the basis of his stock ownership position, and has the experience necessary to lead Seaboard as both the principal executive officer and Chairman of the Board. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors provides risk oversight of Seaboard with respect to the audit of Seaboard's financial statements, Seaboard's internal audit function and any financial matters reported to Seaboard's Vice President of Internal Audit or other Seaboard representative. The Audit Committee administers this oversight function through Audit Committee meetings and periodic meetings in private with Seaboard's auditors, KPMG, and Seaboard's Vice President of Internal Audit. The Board of Directors does not have any other significant oversight function, aside from performance of the Board of Director function through periodic meetings. The Board of Directors does not believe that its role in risk oversight of Seaboard has any significant effect on the Board's leadership structure. Committees of the Board Seaboard's Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee. There currently are no other standing executive, compensation, nominating or other committees of Seaboard's Board of Directors, or committees performing similar functions of the Board. Audit Committee. Seaboard's Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee comprised solely of independent directors. The members of the Audit Committee are David A. Adamsen, Douglas W. Baena and Edward I. Shifman, Jr. Mr. Baena is Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee selects and retains independent auditors and assists the Board in its oversight of the integrity of Seaboard's financial statements, including the performance of our independent auditors in their audit of our annual financial statements. The Audit Committee 7 meets with management and the independent auditors, as may be required. The independent auditors have full and free access to the Audit Committee, without the presence of management. The Board of Directors has determined that Douglas W. Baena is an "audit committee financial expert" and is "independent," within the meaning of the listing standards of NYSE MKT. The Audit Committee held four meetings in fiscal 2013, two of which were telephonic meetings. Director Nominations The Board of Directors believes it is not necessary to have a separate nominating committee because of the low turnover of Board of Director seats and because the entire Board of Directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. There currently is no charter that establishes procedures for the Board's consideration of director nominees. The Board believes that it should be comprised of directors with varied, complementary backgrounds, and that directors should, at a minimum, have expertise that may be useful to Seaboard. Directors should also possess the highest personal and professional ethics, and should be willing and able to devote the required amount of time to Seaboard's business. In determining whether a director should be retained and stand for re-election, the Board also considers that member's performance and contribution to the Board during his tenure with the Board. Seaboard's policy is to consider nominees who are submitted by stockholders on a case-by-case basis. All nominees, including those submitted by stockholders, will be evaluated using generally the same methods and criteria, although those methods and criteria are not standardized and may vary from time to time. The Board does not have any policy with respect to diversity and does not consider diversity in identifying nominees for Director. Communication with the Board The Board of Directors does not provide a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board because it believes that the process available under applicable federal securities laws for stockholders to submit proposals for consideration at the annual meeting is adequate. Compensation of Directors The following table shows the compensation received by each member of our Board of Directors (other than those who are named executive officers in the Summary Compensation table on page 9) for service on the Board in 2013. Director Compensation Table Fees Earned All Other or Paid in Cash Compensation Total _______________ ____________ _______ Douglas W. Baena $70,500 - 0 - $70,500 David A.

The Chairman of the Audit Committee also received an additional $2,000 per quarter. Each non-employee director also receives an additional $1,500 for each in- person Board or Audit Committee meeting.

Bresky was allotted 25.8 hours of flight time for personal use for 2013 and 20 hours of flight time for personal use for 2014. Each of the other Named Executive Officers was allotted 10 hours of flight time for personal use for each of 2013 and 2014. Seaboard also will pay each of the Named Executive Officers for the incidental fees and expenses incurred related to the flights, including ground transportation, and a "tax gross-up" of the estimated federal and state income taxes each will incur as a consequence of this benefit. BENEFIT PLANS 409A Executive Retirement Plan and Cash Balance Retirement Plan The Seaboard Corporation 409A Executive Retirement Plan (the "Executive Retirement Plan") provides retirement benefits for a select group of the officers and managers, including the Named Executive Officers, other than E. Gonzalez. The Executive Retirement Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2013. The Executive Retirement Plan gives credit for all years of service with Seaboard, both before and after becoming a participant. For years of service before becoming a participant (pre-participation service), the benefit is equal to 0.65 percent of the final average remuneration (salary plus bonus) of the participant, plus 0.50 percent of final average remuneration of the participant in excess of Social Security Covered Compensation, all multiplied by the participant's pre-participation service. For years of service after becoming a participant (post-participation service), the benefit is equal to 2.5 percent of the final average remuneration of the participant, multiplied by the participant's years of post-participation service. The amendment to the Executive Retirement Plan effective January 1, 2013 limits, and in some circumstances establishes, the final average remuneration and limits the years of post-participation service eligible to calculate the benefit. The benefit amount determined by the formula is reduced by the following: (i) the amount such participant has accrued under the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan (described below); and (ii) the benefit earned under the Executive Retirement Plan from 1994 through 1996 that resulted in cash payments from the plan that were based on the cost to purchase such benefit. Benefits under the Executive Retirement Plan are currently unfunded. As of December 31, 2013, all of the participating Named Executive Officers were fully vested, as defined in the Executive Retirement Plan. For the accrued benefit as of December 31, 2012 (the "Pre-2013 Benefit"), the ordinary form of payment of the benefit is pursuant to a "Single Lump Sum Payment," which is equivalent in value to the benefit described above, payable in "Single Life Annuity" form. Under certain circumstances, the Executive Retirement Plan allows for optional forms of payment of the Pre-2013 Benefit. If the Pre-2013 Benefit will be paid pursuant to a lump sum, then payment will be made upon the earlier of: (i) the seventh month following separation from service; (ii) any change of control of Seaboard; or (iii) death or disability. If the Pre-2013 Benefit will be paid pursuant to an annuity, payment will begin in the seventh month following the month in which the participant has a separation from service, or at age 62, if later; or pursuant to a lump sum, in the event of the death or disability of the participant, or any change of control of Seaboard. The portion of the benefit which accrues after December 31, 2012 ("Post-2012 Benefit") will be calculated as a lump sum on a date specified in the plan, and for the Named Executive Officers other than R. Steer, this balance will be increased or decreased based on the return of certain investments selected by the participant and paid upon the earlier of: (i) the 12 participant's separation from service; (ii) a change of control; or (iii) the death or disability of the participant. For R. Steer and the participants who are not Named Executive Officers, the Post-2012 Benefit will be paid as a lump sum on the earlier of: (i) the date specified in the plan; (ii) the seventh month following separation of service; (iii) any change of control of Seaboard; or (iv) death or disability. The table in the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan and Seaboard Defined Benefit Plan section below sets forth estimates of the present value as of December 31, 2013 of the accumulative benefits that would be payable to the Named Executive Officers under the Executive Retirement Plan at the earliest unreduced age (i.e., age 62) for pre-participation and post-participation service (note that S. Bresky, R. Steer and D. Dannov began participating in this plan on January 1, 1994, and T. Holton began participating in this plan on January 1, 1997), which estimates are calculated based on the assumptions described in Footnote 10 of Seaboard's 2013 financial statements contained in its Annual Report. The Seaboard Corporation Cash Balance Executive Retirement Plan (the "Cash Balance Retirement Plan") provides retirement benefits for a select group of the officers of Seaboard's subsidiary, Seaboard Marine Ltd., including E. Gonzalez. The Cash Balance Retirement Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2013 and dated December 21, 2012. The Cash Balance Retirement Plan provides an alternative benefit in lieu of the Executive Retirement Plan because of a change in tax law which provided for adverse tax consequences to the employees of Seaboard Marine Ltd. The benefit under the Cash Balance Retirement Plan is structured to approximate the benefit which would have been payable to the participant had he remained a participant in the Executive Retirement Plan; provided, however, pursuant to the Cash Balance Retirement Plan, each participant must recognize income equal to the annual increase in the accrued benefit under the plan, and Seaboard makes a cash distribution under the plan in an amount equal to the estimated amount of taxes which will be incurred by the participant based on the income recognized, which cash distribution is deducted from the amount of the accrued benefit. In conjunction with the adoption of the plan, each participant agreed that the accrued vested benefit under the Executive Retirement Plan would be paid pursuant to the provisions of the Cash Balance Retirement Plan. The accrued benefit under the Cash Balance Retirement Plan will be determined for each participant as of a date set forth in the plan, on which date no further years of service will accrue for purposes of calculating the benefit. The accrued benefit as of this date will be increased or decreased based on deemed investments selected by the participant, and will be paid upon the earlier of: (i) a separation of service; (ii) a change in control of Seaboard; or (iii) death or disability. Payment of all or a portion of the benefit may be delayed by up to six months in accordance with the then applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The benefit under the Cash Balance Retirement Plan is currently unfunded. The table in the Seaboard Corporation Pension and Seaboard Defined Benefit Pension Plan section below sets forth an estimate of the present value as of December 31, 2013 of the accumulative benefit that would be payable to E. Gonzalez under the Cash Balance Retirement Plan at the earliest unreduced age (i.e., age 62), not considering the distributions paid to each such participant prior to age 62 in an amount equal to the estimated income taxes required to be paid as a consequence of the plan for years prior to payment of the lump sum benefit, which estimate is calculated based on the same assumptions described in Footnote 10 of Seaboard's financial statements contained in its Annual Report. Note that E. Gonzalez became a participant in the Executive Retirement Plan on January 1, 2005; 13 however, he has been awarded three additional years of service, such that he is deemed to have joined the plan effective January 1, 2002. Accordingly, the table in the Pension Benefits section below reflects the pre-participation and post-participation service based on this date. Such service is credited under the Cash Balance Retirement Plan. Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan and Seaboard Defined Benefit Pension Plan Seaboard provides defined benefits for its domestic salaried and clerical employees who began employment on or before December 31, 2013 upon retirement through the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan (the "Corporation Plan") or the Seaboard Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the "Defined Benefit Plan") (collectively the "Plans"). Beginning in fiscal 1997, each of the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table participated in the Corporation Plan. Effective January 1, 2010, the Defined Benefit Plan was established, receiving assets from and assuming liabilities of the Corporation Plan. The Named Executive Officers other than E. Gonzalez participate in the Corporation Plan, and E. Gonzalez participates in the Defined Benefit Plan. The benefits under the Corporation Plan and the Defined Benefit Plan are the same. Benefits under the Plans generally are based upon the number of years of service and a percentage of final average remuneration (salary plus bonus), subject to limitations under applicable federal law. As of December 31, 2013, all of the Named Executive Officers were fully vested, as defined in the Plans. Under the Plans, the benefit payment for a married participant is pursuant to a "50 Percent Joint and Survivor Annuity." This means the participant will receive a monthly annuity benefit for his/her lifetime, and an eligible surviving spouse will receive a lifetime annuity equal to 50 percent of the participant's benefit. The payment of the benefit for an unmarried participant is pursuant to a "Single Life Annuity." The Plans allow for optional forms of payment under certain circumstances. The normal retirement age under the Plans is age 65. However, unreduced benefits are available at age 62 with five years of service. The Pension Benefits table below shows the present value of the accumulated benefits that would be payable under the Plans at the earliest unreduced commencement age (i.e., age 62). Each of the Named Executive Officers (other than T. Holton) is 100 percent vested under a particular defined benefit ("Benefit") that was frozen at December 31, 1993 as part of the Plans. A definitive actuarial determination of the benefit amounts was made in 1995. The annual amounts payable upon retirement after attaining age 62 under this Benefit are as follows: S. Bresky, $32,796; R. Steer, $15,490; D. Dannov, $8,346; and E. Gonzalez, $2,643. Under the Plans, the payment of this benefit is pursuant to a "Ten-Year Certain and Continuous Annuity." This means the participant would receive a monthly annuity benefit for his/her lifetime and, if the participant dies while in the ten-year certain period, the balance of the ten-year benefit would be paid to his/her designated beneficiary. If the participant dies while employed by Seaboard or after retirement, but before the commencement of benefits, monthly payments would be made to the participant's beneficiary in the form of a 100 percent joint and survivor benefit. The Plans allow for optional forms of payment under certain circumstances. The following table sets forth the Years of Credited Service, the Present Value of the Accumulated Benefit and the Payments during the last fiscal year, pursuant to the specified Plans for each of the Named Executive Officers. 14 Pension Benefits Present Payments Years of Value of During Credited Accumulated Last Fiscal Service Benefit Year Name Plan Name (#) ($) ($) _______________________________________________________________________________ Steven J.

The credited years of pre-participation service (service prior to becoming a participant) for each of the Named Executive Officers is as follows: S. Bresky, 14; R. Steer, 9; D. Dannov, 6; E. Gonzalez, 12; and T. Holton, 2. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan In 2005, Seaboard adopted the Seaboard Corporation Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan"), which gives a select group of management or highly-compensated employees the right to defer salary and bonus to be paid by Seaboard at a later time, all in accordance with applicable ERISA and income tax laws and regulations. No income taxes are payable by the participants on amounts deferred pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan until they are paid to the participant. The Deferred Compensation Plan also provides for a Company contribution to be credited to participants in an amount equal to Seaboard's 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan matching percentage, 3 percent for 2013, of each 15 participant's deferral pursuant to the Plan, and of each participant's annual compensation in excess of the Tax Code limitation on the amount of compensation that can be taken into account under Seaboard's 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "401(k) Match"). The amount of such limitation for Seaboard was $250,000 in 2013 and $245,000 in 2012 and 2011. Through 2008, each of the Named Executive Officers was a participant in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Effective January 1, 2009, the plan was amended to provide that E. Gonzalez was no longer allowed to make deferrals under the Deferred Compensation Plan, and the 401(k) Match was not made pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for compensation earned after January 1, 2009; however, amounts deferred prior to January 1, 2009 remained subject to the plan. All amounts deferred and all Company contributions credited are included in the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table above.

Seaboard Marine Ltd. 401(k) Excess Plan Effective January 1, 2009, Seaboard adopted the Seaboard Marine Ltd. 401(k) Excess Plan (the "401(k) Excess Plan"), which provides a benefit for certain employees of Seaboard Marine Ltd., including E. Gonzalez. Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, participants are paid an amount equal to Seaboard's 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan matching percentage, which for 2013, equaled 3 percent of each participant's annual compensation in excess of the Tax Code limitation on the amount of compensation that can be taken into account under Seaboard's 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. The amount of such limitation was $250,000 in 2013 and $245,000 for 2012 and 2011. The benefit earned by E. Gonzalez pursuant to this Plan in 2011 and paid to E. Gonzalez in 2012 was $28,000. The benefit earned by E. Gonzalez pursuant to this Plan in 2012 and paid to 16 E. Gonzalez in 2013 was $23,723. The benefit earned by E. Gonzalez pursuant to this Plan for 2013 ($28,445) will be paid to him in 2014, and is included in the Summary Compensation Table above. Investment Option Plan For the years 2001-2004, Seaboard established the Investment Option Plan, which allowed executives to reduce their compensation, and Seaboard to make contributions, in exchange for an option to acquire interests measured by reference to three alternative investments. However, as a result of U.S. tax legislation passed in October 2004, reductions to compensation and contributions by Seaboard after 2004 were no longer allowed. The exercise price for each investment option was established based upon the fair market value of the underlying investment on the date of grant.

This benefit is also furnished in the event the Named Executive Officer's employment is involuntarily terminated (other than if the Named Executive Officer unlawfully converted a material amount of funds), or in the event of a change of control of Seaboard. Following is a summary of the present value cost to Seaboard of this benefit for each Named Executive Officer, assuming that this benefit was triggered and said medical insurance began to be furnished on December 31, 2013. 17 Present Value of Retiree Medical Benefit (1) Name ($) __________________________________________ Steven J.

Executive Long-Term Disability Plan The Seaboard Corporation Executive Long-Term Disability Plan provides disability pay continuation to certain members of management, including R. Steer, D. Dannov, E. Gonzalez and T. Holton upon a long-term illness or injury that prevents the participant from being able to perform his duties. Benefits are payable following a 90 day elimination or waiting period. In conjunction with the Seaboard Corporation Group Long-Term Disability Plan, benefits payable are equal to 70 percent of participant's salary and bonus, up to $23,000 per month for R. Steer, and up to $18,000 per month for D. Dannov, E. Gonzalez and T. Holton. COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Overview of Compensation Program The Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and monitoring adherence with Seaboard's compensation philosophy. The Board ensures that the total compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers is fair, reasonable and competitive. Compensation Philosophy and Objectives Seaboard maintains the philosophy that determination of compensation for its executive officers by the Board of Directors is primarily based upon recognition that these officers are responsible for implementing Seaboard's long-term strategic objectives. The Board subjectively evaluates both performance and compensation to ensure that Seaboard maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions, and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. Seaboard does not maintain any equity compensation plans, such as stock grants or stock options, unlike most of Seaboard's peer companies. It is the Board's philosophy that the compensation of its Named Executive Officers should not be subject to dramatic increases or decreases based on short-term operating performance. For example, in years when Seaboard has higher than historical average operating results, bonuses of the Named Executive Officers are generally higher, but not reflective of the potential 18 compensation that would have been paid to the executive through equity compensation if Seaboard maintained any equity compensation plans. Likewise, bonuses for executives generally do not decline significantly in a year when Seaboard has lower than historical average operating results. At the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company provided stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on executive compensation and on the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation. The stockholders voted to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in the Company's 2011 annual meeting proxy statement. The Board viewed the vote as a strong expression of the stockholders' general satisfaction with the Company's current executive compensation programs. Consistent with the stockholders' preference expressed in voting at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company's Board of Directors determined that an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company's executive officers will be conducted every three years. The next such stockholder advisory vote will thus take place at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Setting Executive Compensation Based on the foregoing objectives, the Board of Directors establishes compensation based upon a subjective review of Company performance and individual performance. A significant factor in determining total compensation is that Seaboard does not provide any long-term incentive compensation, such as stock grants or stock options. 2013 Executive Compensation Components For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the principal components of compensation for the Named Executive Officers were: - Base salary; - Bonus; - Retirement and other benefits; and - Perquisites and other personal benefits. Salaries and Bonuses. To establish the base salaries and bonuses for the Named Executive Officers, the Board of Directors makes a subjective determination, primarily considering: - Individual review of the executive's compensation, both individually and relative to other officers; - Individual performance of the executive; and - Seaboard's operating results. 19 The 2013 salaries for the Named Executive Officers were established based on the estimated increase in the cost of living. The 2013 bonuses of the Named Executive Officers are reflective of the operating results of Seaboard and/or the area of Seaboard's business for which the Named Executive Officer is responsible, although no specific targets are utilized, and a subjective evaluation of the market data. The amount of bonuses is more dependent upon Seaboard's operating results than base salaries. The Employment Agreements for the Named Executive Officers require minimum annual bonus payments. Retirement and Other Benefits. Each of the Named Executive Officers is a participant in the Executive Retirement Plan or the Cash Balance Retirement Plan. The benefit under these plans is generally equal to 2.5 percent of the final average remuneration (salary plus bonus) of the participant, multiplied by the participant's years of service in the plan after January 1, 1997, subject to a limitation in the number of years of service and final average remuneration. The exact amount of the benefits, the offsets thereto and the benefit for years of service prior to January 1, 1997 are set forth in more detail on page 15 of this Proxy statement. Seaboard also maintains a tax-qualified retirement savings plan, to which all U.S.-based employees, including the Named Executive Officers, are able to contribute their annual compensation, up to the limit prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. For 2013, Seaboard matched 50 percent of the first 6 percent of compensation contributed to the plan. All matching contributions vest fully after completing 5 years of service. The Named Executive Officers, in addition to certain other executives, are entitled to participate in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, which gives participants (other than E. Gonzalez) the right to defer salary and bonus to be paid by Seaboard at a later time, all in accordance with applicable ERISA and income tax laws and regulations. Seaboard also maintains for each of the Named Executive Officers and certain other executives the Seaboard Corporation Retiree Medical Benefit Plan, which provides family medical insurance to each participant upon his retirement: (i) in the event he has attained age 50, and has at least 15 years of service; or (ii) in the event the participant's employment is involuntarily terminated (other than if the participant unlawfully converted a material amount of funds); or (iii) in the event of a change of control of Seaboard. The Board believes that Seaboard's retirement and other benefits are consistent with the philosophy of Seaboard to provide security and stability of employment to the Named Executive Officers as a mechanism to attract and retain these employees. Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits. Seaboard provides the Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other benefits that the Board believes are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable Seaboard to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. These include an automobile allowance, fuel card usage, life insurance, disability insurance, personal use of Seaboard's airplane up to a specified number of hours, and paid time off and pay for unused paid time off. 20 Tax Implications Pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, compensation in excess of $1 million paid by Seaboard to certain of the Named Executive Officers is not deductible by Seaboard, subject to certain exceptions. The Board of Directors has considered the effect of Section 162(m) of the Code on Seaboard's executive compensation. The Named Executive Officers to whom the 162(m) limitation applies deferred, pursuant to the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, any compensation for 2013 in excess of $1 million, such that Seaboard will not lose any deduction for 2013 for compensation paid to these Named Executive Officers. The compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain of the Named Executive Officers is not subject to Section 162(m) of the Code. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT The entire Board of Directors (in the absence of a compensation committee) has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth above with management, and based on this review and discussions, has determined that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in Seaboard's Annual Report on Form 10-K and this proxy statement. The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers. To assist the Board of Directors in determining 2013 bonuses and 2014 salaries for these Named Executive Officers, S. Bresky and R. Steer discussed the 2013 bonuses and 2014 salaries for each of these Named Executive Officers, considering Seaboard's performance and each Named Executive Officer's performance during 2013. The 2013 bonuses and 2014 salaries for the Named Executive Officers were subsequently approved by the Board of Directors by unanimous consent. The members of the Board of Directors reviewing and discussing the Compensation Disclosure and Analysis are as follows: Steven J. Bresky David A. Adamsen Douglas W. Baena Edward I. Shifman, Jr. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION The Board of Directors does not have a Compensation Committee. It is the view of the Board of Directors that Seaboard need not have a Compensation Committee because Seaboard is controlled by the Seaboard Flour Entities, and because the full Board of Directors is able to perform the functions relative to executive compensation. The full Board of Directors participated in the consideration of executive and director compensation. S. Bresky is a member of the Board of Directors of Seaboard and participates in decisions by the Board regarding executive compensation, other than his own compensation. During 2013, Seaboard paid our director, J. Rodrigues, $188,032 under the Executive Retirement Plan, the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan and an individual retirement plan. There will be no further payments to Mr. Rodrigues pursuant to these plans on account of the death of Mr. Rodrigues during 2013. 21 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS PROCEDURES Seaboard has no formal policy or procedure that must be followed prior to any transaction, arrangement or relationship with a related person, as defined by SEC regulations (e.g., directors, executive officers, any 5 percent shareholder, or immediate family member of any of the foregoing). Seaboard has a written conflict of interest policy, which requires directors, officers and employees to conduct their non-work activities in a manner that does not conflict with the best interests of Seaboard. Annually, all officers and salaried employees are required to complete a form disclosing all known conflicts of interest. Seaboard's Director of Human Resources and Seaboard's General Counsel review and approve any disclosed conflicts of interest. In the event any of the executive officers disclosed any conflict of interest, Seaboard's General Counsel would discuss the conflict with Seaboard's Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and/or Seaboard's President and Chief Executive Officer. In the event the conflict involved Seaboard's President and Chief Executive Officer and was otherwise material, the conflict would be reviewed and approved by Seaboard's Board of Directors. In addition to the procedures to review conflicts of interest, annually, Seaboard requires each director, nominee for a director and officer of Seaboard to complete a questionnaire which requires disclosure of any transaction or loan exceeding $120,000 between Seaboard and such person or any member of such person's immediate family. Any such matters which were disclosed would be reviewed by Seaboard's General Counsel and discussed with Seaboard's President and Chief Executive Officer and/or Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and/or Seaboard's Board of Directors, depending on the materiality of the matter. During 2013, there were no such related party transactions in excess of $120,000. The standards applied pursuant to the above-described procedures are to provide comfort that any conflict of interest or related party transaction is on an arms-length basis which is fair to Seaboard. This is principally accomplished by ensuring that the Seaboard person entering into or approving the transaction on behalf of Seaboard is independent of the person with the conflict of interest or engaging in the related party transaction with Seaboard. ITEM 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION We are providing stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on executive compensation, as required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Section 14A was added to the Exchange Act by Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act"). The advisory vote on executive compensation is a non-binding vote on the compensation of Seaboard's Named Executive Officers disclosed in this proxy statement, as required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, including the disclosure in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in this proxy statement. The Dodd-Frank Act requires us to hold the advisory vote on executive compensation at least once every three years. 22 Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following resolution: RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Seaboard Corporation approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Seaboard's Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in Seaboard's proxy statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, including the disclosure in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in such proxy statement. This advisory vote on executive compensation is not binding on Seaboard's Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors will take into account the result of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements. Adoption of this resolution will require the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR adoption of the resolution approving the compensation of Seaboard's Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement, including the disclosure in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure. Properly dated and signed proxies will be so voted unless stockholders specify otherwise. ITEM 3: SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected the independent registered public accounting firm of KPMG LLP as Seaboard's independent auditors to audit the books, records and accounts of Seaboard for the year ending December 31, 2014. Stockholders will have an opportunity to vote at the annual meeting on whether to ratify the Audit Committee's decision in this regard. Seaboard has been advised by KPMG LLP that neither it nor any member or associate has any relationship with Seaboard or with any of its affiliates other than as independent accountants and auditors. Submission of the selection of the independent auditors to the stockholders for ratification will not limit the authority of the Audit Committee to appoint another independent certified public accounting firm to serve as independent auditors if the present auditors resign or their engagement otherwise is terminated. Submission to the stockholders of the selection of independent auditors is not required by Seaboard's bylaws. A representative of KPMG LLP will not be present at the annual meeting, and thus, will not have an opportunity to make a statement or respond to questions. 23 The Board of Directors recommends that you vote for approval of the selection of KPMG LLP. Independent Auditors' Fees The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of Seaboard's annual financial statements for 2013 and 2012, and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG LLP during such years. Type of Fee 2013 2012 _______________________________________________ Audit Fees(1) $2,008,664 $1,752,264 Audit-Related Fees(2) 2,565 7,448 Tax Fees(3) 217,739 268,813 All Other Fees(4) - 0 - 2,248 __________ (1) Audit Fees, including those for statutory audits, include the aggregate fees paid by us during 2013 and 2012 for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of our annual financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting, and the review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. (2) Audit-Related Fees include the aggregate fees paid by us during 2013 and 2012 for assurance and related services by KPMG LLP that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and not included in Audit Fees. (3) Tax Fees include the aggregate fees paid by us during 2013 and 2012 for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including tax audit support and transfer pricing studies. (4) All Other Fees represent miscellaneous services performed in certain foreign countries. Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services The Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services. Prior to the engagement of the independent auditor, the Audit Committee pre-approves the services by category of service. Fees are estimated and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees, as compared to budgeted fees by category of service. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chairman for engagements of less than $25,000. For informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions made by the Audit Committee Chairman are reported at the Audit Committee's next scheduled meeting. The percentage of audit-related fees, tax fees and all other fees that were approved by the Audit Committee for fiscal 2013 was 100 percent of the total fees incurred. 24 Audit Committee Report to Stockholders The Audit Committee of Seaboard is comprised of three directors who are "independent," as defined by the NYSE MKT listing standards, and operates under a written charter. The Audit Committee Charter is available on Seaboard's website at www.seaboardcorp.com. The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2013 and discussed them with management and with the independent auditors, KPMG LLP. The Audit Committee also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditor's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent auditors their independence. The Audit Committee has concluded that the independent auditors currently meet applicable independence standards. The Audit Committee has reviewed the independent auditors' fees for audit and non-audit services for fiscal year 2013. The Audit Committee considered whether such non-audit services are compatible with maintaining independent auditor independence and has concluded that they are compatible at this time. Based on its review of the audited financial statements and the other materials referred to above and the various discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in Seaboard's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The foregoing has been furnished by the Audit Committee: Douglas W. Baena (Chair) David A. Adamsen Edward I. Shifman, Jr. ITEM 4: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REQUESTING SEABOARD TO REPORT ITS CHARITABLE, POLITICAL AND LOBBYING CONTRIBUTIONS Stockholder Proposal The Humane Society of the United States, 2100 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037, which owns at least $2,000 in market value of our Company's common stock, proposes the adoption of the following resolution, and has furnished the following statement in support of its proposal: RESOLVED: That the shareholders request that the Company provide a report - updated semi-annually, omitting proprietary information, and produced at reasonable cost - disclosing the Company's: 1. monetary and non-monetary contributions and expenditures made to non-profit organizations operating under Section 501(c) (3) or 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, and any other public or private charitable organizations; 25 2. monetary and non-monetary political contributions and expenditures not deductible under Section 162(e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, including but not limited to contributions or expenditures on behalf of political candidates, parties, committees or other political entities organized and operating under 26 USC Sec. 527 of the Internal Revenue Code; and 3. any portion of any dues or similar payments made to any tax exempt organization that is used for expenditure or contribution that, if made directly by the Company, would not be deductible under Section 162(e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. The report may be posted on the Company's website to reduce costs to shareholders and should be itemized so as to include the identity of each recipient as well as the amount paid to each recipient of the Company's funds that are used for political or charitable contributions or expenditures, as described above. Supporting Statement: Shareholders are entitled to know how their company is spending its funds for political or charitable purposes, and current disclosure is wholly insufficient to allow the Company's Board and its shareholders to fully evaluate the charitable and political use of corporate assets. Company executives exercise wide discretion over the use of corporate assets for political and charitable purposes. Absent a system of accountability for political and charitable contributions, Company executives may use Company's assets for objectives that are not shared by and may be unfavorable to the interests of the Company and its shareholders, potentially harming long-term shareholder value. Principles of transparency and accountability should apply to Company political and charitable contributions. Such disclosure is consistent with transparent governance practices of publicly-owned companies. If you AGREE with this critical governance reform, please vote FOR this resolution. Seaboard Position: Your Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST the adoption of this stockholder proposal. 26 OTHER MATTERS The notice of meeting provides for the election of directors, the approval of the compensation of Seaboard's Named Executive Officers, the selection of independent auditors, the stockholder proposal described in Item 4 above, and for the transaction of such other business, as may properly come before the meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors does not intend to present to the meeting any other business, and it has not been informed of any business intended to be presented by others. However, if any other matters properly come before the meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will take action and vote proxies, in accordance with their judgment of such matters. Action may be taken on the business to be transacted at the meeting on the date specified in the notice of meeting or on any date or dates to which such meeting may be adjourned. SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Based solely on a review of the copies of reports furnished to Seaboard and written representations that no other reports were required, Seaboard believes that during fiscal 2013, all reports of ownership required under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for directors and executive officers of Seaboard and beneficial owners of more than 10 percent of Seaboard's common stock have been timely filed. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS It is anticipated that the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders will be held on April 27, 2015. Any stockholder who intends to present a proposal at the 2015 annual meeting must deliver the proposal to Seaboard at 9000 West 67th Street, Shawnee Mission, Kansas 66202, Attention: David M. Becker by the applicable deadline below: - If the stockholder proposal is intended for inclusion in Seaboard's proxy materials for that meeting, Seaboard must receive the proposal no later than November 11, 2014. Such proposal must also comply with the other requirements of the proxy solicitation rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. - If the stockholder proposal is to be presented without inclusion in Seaboard's proxy materials for that meeting, Seaboard must receive the proposal no later than January 28, 2015. Proxies solicited in connection with the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders will confer on the appointed proxies discretionary voting authority to vote on stockholder proposals that are not presented for inclusion in the proxy materials, unless the proposing stockholder notifies Seaboard by January 25, 2015 that such proposal will be made at the meeting. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements of Seaboard for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, together with corresponding consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, are contained in the Annual Report which is mailed to 27 stockholders with this proxy statement.

Seaboard's Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K is also available on Seaboard's Internet website at www.seaboardcorp.com. HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (including brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements, annual reports and notices of internet availability of proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single package of these materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. We have adopted a "householding" procedure that you may wish to follow. If you are receiving multiple sets of proxy materials and wish to have your accounts householded, call Shareholder Relations at (913) 676-8800 or send written instructions to Shareholder Relations, Seaboard Corporation, 9000 West 67th Street, Shawnee Mission, Kansas 66202. If you no longer wish to participate in householding (and instead wish that each stockholder sharing the same address with you receives a complete set of proxy materials), you must provide written notification to Shareholder Relations to withhold your consent for householding. We will act in accordance with your wishes within 30 days after receiving such notification. Many brokerage firms participate in householding as well.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DIRECTORS	AGE	BIO
Paul M Squires	70	Director, Seaboard Corporation; Chief Operating Officer, Seaboard Flour LLC (since 2006); Controller, Seaboard Flour LLC (2003-2004). In his position as Chief Operating Officer of Seaboard Flour LLC, Mr. Squires reports to E. Bresky, who is the Manager of Seaboard Flour LLC. Seaboard Flour LLC owns 36.9 percent of the outstanding shares of Seaboard. Mr. Squires graduated with an accounting degree in 1977 and was licensed as a Certified Public Accountant in 1980. His accounting background and management experience at Seaboard Flour are attributes that are desirable for a Seaboard Director.
Frances B Shifman	74	Director and Member of Audit Committee, Seaboard Corporation. Ms. Shifman is currently a director/trustee for a number of non-profit organizations with no relationship to Seaboard Corporation. She has nine years of experience as Chief Operating Officer of NAIOP, MA, widely recognized as one of the premier business organizations in Massachusetts. She has effectively promoted commercial real estate interests, including lobbying, public affairs, education, research and informational programs. She has been named Executive of the Year by the national Organization of NAIOP in recognition of her accomplishments. She also has more than 25 years of experience in the field of property management and real estate in executive positions. Her experience and knowledge make her qualified as a Director for Seaboard.
Ellen S Bresky	71	Robert L. Steer serves as Seaboard’s principal executive officer. Ellen S. Bresky serves as director and Chairwoman of the Board and is the beneficial owner of approximately 73.5 percent of Seaboard. Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, Seaboard no longer has a lead independent director. Seaboard believes that Ms. Bresky has a sufficient vested interest in Seaboard on the basis of her beneficial stock ownership position and that Mr. Steer, who has been with Seaboard for more than 38 years, including nine years in his former role as Executive Vice President and CFO, has the experience necessary to lead Seaboard as the principal executive officer. The Board of Directors believes that the separation of the positions of Chairwoman of the Board and principal executive officer is the appropriate leadership structure for Seaboard at this time. This structure recognizes the nature of Seaboard as a “controlled company,” and, therefore, provides the Bresky family with appropriate influence over the Company.
Douglas W Baena	82	Director and Chairman of Audit Committee, Seaboard Corporation; self-employed (since 1997), engaging in facilitation of equipment lease financings and consulting, doing business as CreditAmerica Corporation. Mr. Baena has an educational background in accounting and has experience working as a Certified Public Accountant. He also has experience arranging lease financing transactions for companies. His accounting and finance background provides experience and attributes that are desirable for a Seaboard Director.
David A Adamsen	73	The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s Named Executive Officers as a group (excluding R. Steer and S. Bresky, who each served as President and Chief Executive Officer during the periods stated above) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The names of the Named Executive Officers (excluding R. Steer and S. Bresky) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2024, D. Rankin, E. Gonzalez, J. Bresky and D. Becker; (ii) for 2023, D. Rankin, E. Gonzalez, Peter B. Brown (former President of Seaboard Foods LLC), and J. Bresky; (iii) for 2022, D. Rankin, E. Gonzalez, David M. Dannov (former President of Seaboard Overseas and Trading Group) and Peter B. Brown; (iv) for 2021, D. Rankin, E. Gonzalez, David M. Dannov, and Peter B. Brown; and (v) for 2020, D. Rankin, E. Gonzalez, David M. Dannov and Darwin E. Sand (former President of Seaboard Foods LLC).
