Yes, I'm pretty sure they do pick up seeds from chests. Seeds which match their current seed type. This suggestion wouldn't work well - if they don't have an assigned seed item and they pick one from a chest, what if the chest has multiple seed types in? How would they know which to use? I think it's best to leave things so that the player always determines which crop their farmhands are farming.
