Ah, but there's a better way to deal with seeds - have a single-tile stockpile for seeds, assigne a barrell and be done with it. NEVER ALLOW SEEDS ANYWHERE ELSE!

Good advice on its own, but there's something else to add to this - make this one-tile stockpile in the middle of your farm.  Preferably near a staircase that lets you go from an above-ground farm to a below-ground farm, so that there is as little travel time as possible.

So can one bag hold an infinite number of seeds, then? Damn dwarves, thinking a barrel with 12 seeds is full.

Actually, a bag can only hold one kind of seed.  A barrel can hold several bags that hold several seeds, meaning a barrel can hold hundreds of seeds.

And you can quantum stockpile seeds on a single tile to a seemingly infinite degree.

One bag can hold 100 seeds of one type.  The maximum number of any one type of seed you can have is 200. 

The wiki states that a barrel can hold up to 10 bags, so this means the maximum total seed amount of 5 different plant types.

If you have an extensive farming setup, you may need additional stockpiles.  Particularly if you're farming aboveground as well as below.

If you have no wood source, you do realize you can set the number of barrels allowed in your food stockpile? Make sure 100% of your barrels are going toward booze storage, and you won't have that problem.

*facepalm*

Also, why is it that no matter how many barrels I have, they're ALL used for food, even if I fallow my fields for some tiem and brew away most of it?

Limit the size of your food stockpiles.

I use specialized stockpiles for each crop I farm. The stockpile is very small, maybe only 5x5. 25 barrels max.

All extra plants just rot in the field but thats fine, I just keep growing them year round, or as often as I can, and never run out of food, ever.

This frees up almost all of my barrels for storing meat and booze.

Ye i realised that, the problem was i had about 7 barrels full of booze and i wasn't expecting the huge wave, they got there, drank it all and they ate most of the stock of plump helmets so i had like nothing to brew.
