Yes. As long as you don't spill any of the water out of the drum when you get in, the total weight of the drum and water with you in it will be equal to the weight of the drum and the water plus the weight of you, separately. It doesn't matter if you float or sink.

It will weigh about the same as it did before you climbed in. First, the answer above this one is wrong because you cant climb into a full 55 gallon drum without spilling water. As you enter the water, you will displace that volume with your body which weighs close enough to water to weigh near enough the same minus the amount of bouancy.

How much a gallon of fruit and vegetable seeds weigh?

It depends how big the seeds are, since a gallon is a measure of volume which cannot be easily converted into a weight without knowing what the exact substance is. For example, a gallon of popped popcorn will weigh much less than a gallon of unpopped kernals (since you can fit more kernals in a gallon than you can popped popcorn). Seeds do vary in weight quite a lot.
