When I was a kid we used to play this card game where you had to trade things like wheat, flax, rye etc. If I remember correctly one side of the cards were a burnt orange color and the other had pictures of wheat, flax, rye etc.

The name of the game is Pit.
Pit®
A lively trading game, copyrighted by Parker Brothers in 1903. The deck consists of sets of cards representing various commodities. Older decks have 9 cards each of corn, wheat, oats, flax, rye, barley and hay; some new ones have 8 each of corn, oats, sugar, cocoa, barley and wheat. In addition there is a bull and a bear card. The game is played with one commodity per player; everyone trades cards at once and the aim is to collect a complete set of one commodity. The bull card is a wild card, and the bear card is a useless card which you must get rid of to form a set. The game is now produced by Winning Moves.

Sounds like Settlers of Catan, I play the computerized version which I bought from Bigfishgames.com. You trade brick, wheat, ore, sheep and wood and can get points for building roads, cities, or getting the largest army, etc. It started as a card game in the 1800's and has since been converted into a PC game and I think you can also play it online although I am not sure where.
