Item 8.01 Other Events

On  October  31, 2011, the Board of Directors extended through October  31,
2012  the share repurchase program previously approved on November 6,  2009
and  originally  set  to  expire on October 31,  2011.   Under  this  share
repurchase program, Seaboard is authorized to repurchase from time to  time
up  to  $100,000,000 market value of its Common Stock  in  open  market  or
privately  negotiated  purchases which may be above  or  below  the  traded
market  price.  As of October 31, 2011, $63,329,000 remained available  for
repurchases  under  this  program.   During  the  period  that  the   share
repurchase program remains in effect, from time to time, Seaboard may enter
into  a  10b5-1  plan authorizing a third party to make such  purchases  on
behalf  of Seaboard.  The stock repurchase will be funded by cash on  hand.
Shares repurchased will be retired and resume the status of authorized  and
unissued  shares.   All stock repurchased will be made in  compliance  with
applicable  legal  requirements and the timing of the repurchases  and  the
number  of  shares  repurchased at any given time will depend  upon  market
conditions,  compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations
and  other  factors.  The Board's stock repurchase authorization  does  not
obligate a specific amount of common stock and the stock repurchase program
may be suspended at any time at Seaboard's discretion.
