Seriously great question! What do you know as a medieval historian? Specifically how was seed stored at harvest and then distributed for planting? Were there traveling seed merchants or was it more like a local municipal infrastructure setup? Been wanting to know this for years.

If you google medieval grain storage I suspect you'll get some info. There's stuff out there. As for seed merchants, usually merchants were diversified with what they brought with them, and I don't have inventory stuff on hand, but grains were usually local if I recall.

Ive done that but the research seems to be focused on the building technologies of granaries in various places or debates over the amount stored for consumption (a winter vs supplies for years). The question Im asking is more about seed for planting and the ppl involved. 1/3

Not sure of the evidence, not my area. Might be worth looking into what archaeobotanists say. Unfortunately the skew of the evidence didn't care much about the nitty gritty of farming.
