I have read other posts and found them inconclusive to what my own problem is. I'm at the start of them map, two of my dwarfs being proficient growers, one with proficient brewing. I have 40 seeds inside a barrel at my food stockpile. These dwarfs will not get the seeds and plant them, and when I go [q] - go to building - it says there is no seeds available for this farm.. yet I have 40 of them. What do I do?

i could be the placement of the farm. certain seeds will only grow outdoors and others will only grow underground. if the farm is outside and you have seeds that are underground-only, they wont get planted. http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Seed

Biomes affect what plants grow where, except for plump helmets.
Try flooding ground and then putting a plot on it?

I have a similar problem. In my newest (tenth, I think, but the previous five were quickly abandoned due to aquifers or undead, so really only fifth) fortress, I have the same issue with plump helmet seeds. Which is all the more vexing, since plump helmets are supposed to be able to be grown anywhere underground. I have about 60-80 seeds the last I checked, but the farm plots still say that I have none when I try planting them.

You probably already know this but your dwarf won't plant at the end of the season.

Hmmm...only potential problems I can think of are:
1) The farm is not actually underground
2) The seeds are not in a stockpile
3) The seeds are accessible from the farm.
