Editing 40d:How do I manage my seeds and crops

{{quality|tattered}}{{av}}
*Create a custom [[stockpile]] near your [[farm]] which will only accept [[seed]]s. This will consolidate your seeds into one place, instead of having them littered all through the [[dining room]]. As a large number of seeds can be stored in a single barrel, this stockpile can be only three or four tiles. Alternately, you can make a more traditional sized custom stockpile, which only accepts seeds and bars of [[potash]] for fertilizing.
*You can also create a custom stockpile that will only accept [[plant]]s, to avoid having it all mixed up with your [[meat]] and [[drink]]s. It would be a good idea to have this stockpile near your [[Still|brewery]], [[farmer's workshop]], [[kitchen]], etc.
*Use the [[stocks]] menu, and go to the Kitchen tab. From here you can see how many of each kind of food you have. 
**If you're running out of a certain kind of seed, toggle the corresponding plant "Cook" setting to red. [[Cooking]] plants doesn't leave a seed.
**If you have too many of a certain kind of seed, toggle the seed "Cook" setting to blue. Just make sure you check on the stocks and toggle it back before you run out!
