Koohii stories:

1) [Nukemarine] 27-8-2007(268): In AUTUMN, the WHEAT looks the color of FIRE, meaning it's time to harvest it.

2) [torida] 2-6-2008(96): Every autumn the wheat is set on fire to clear the way for next year's crop…

3) [smithsonian] 18-1-2007(55): After the wheat harvest, the farmers have a bonfire to celebrate the autumn season.

4) [stshores24] 14-7-2008(20): Every autumn they gather in the wheat and then set it all afire. I don't think they know what they're doing.

5) [shinyclef] 11-5-2009(9): Have a look at this guy's photo if you need a mental image. Compare it to the pic before it to see how drastically the colour changes. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/572483 Story: Wheat fields are the colour of fire in Autumn.
