A patchwork of colors: China's autumn harvest from space

As October brings the autumn harvest into full swing across China, fields from north to south are turning gold, green and red. Autumn grains make up roughly three quarters of the country's annual output. More than 30% of the crop has already been harvested – ahead of last year's pace.
