Employee Benefits | Note 6 – Employee Benefits Seaboard maintains two defined benefit pension plans for its domestic salaried and clerical employees. During the third quarter of 2016, Seaboard completed future funding analyses for these plans, and in September 2016 made a deductible contribution of $39 million to one of the pension plans for the 2015 plan year. At this time, no further contributions are expected to be made to these plans in 2016. Seaboard also sponsors non-qualified, unfunded supplemental executive plans, and has certain individual, non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement agreements for certain retired employees. Management has no plans to provide funding for these supplemental plans in advance of when the benefits are paid. The net periodic benefit cost for all of these plans was as follows:
