According to the Wiki, the only way to obtain wheat seeds in versions prior to Beta 1.6 is to use a hoe on grass blocks — and even then they only have a small chance of dropping.
You have to use a hoe to till grass blocks (the full block, "tall grass" did not exist until Beta 1.6. these have also changed names over time, "tall grass" now refers to the 2 block high plant added in release 1.7 and the original is now "short grass"):
I am playing on Beta 1.3_01, and I can't find wheat seeds anywhere!
I found only one thread about this, and it didn't help ):
The responses said I need to click on grass, but I can't find any grass!
What do I need to do?

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
Thank you!
I didn't think that I needed to use the hoe on the grass block
