Bought The Farm

Why does the phrase "bought the farm" mean to die in action ? I can't find etymological origin of the phrase still now. If the phrase were to be "bought the tombstone" I could comprehend it. It might be the most unique phrase for non-native speaker of English.

We shall all die. But I don't want to die in a hospital. We were all farmer. and Someday may buy the farm.
