Exhibit 99.2

  Statement Under Oath of Principal Financial Officer Regarding Facts
          and Circumstances Relating to Exchange Act Filings


I, Robert L. Steer, Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Chief
Financial Officer of Seaboard Corporation, state and attest that:

       (1)  To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
       reports of Seaboard Corporation, and, except as corrected or
       supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

          no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
          fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in the
          case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the
          date on which it was filed); and

          no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to
          make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
          circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the
          end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a report
          on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it
          was filed).

       (2)  I reviewed the contents of this statement with Seaboard
       Corporation's audit committee.

       (3)  In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on
       or before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

          Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2001
          of Seaboard Corporation

          all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
          definitive proxy materials of Seaboard Corporation filed with the
          Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified
          above; and

          any amendments to any of the foregoing


                                   Subscribed to and sworn to
                                   before me this 5th day of
/s/Robert L. Steer                 August 2002.
