Eileen and Ken Cornes live in semi-retirement on Fields Farm Buerton in Cheshire. Much of the land is rented out and stock is reared for neighbouring farmers. Eileen was born at the Bird-in-Hand Farm Woodseaves moving to Cheswardine Farm in 1959. She attended Market Drayton Grammar School and on leaving worked for the National Westminster Bank, Tudor House, Market Drayton, leaving shortly after the Market Drayton amalgamation. Married Ken in 1970, moving to Fields Farm which was firstly tenanted by Ken's father in 1939 and later purchased. During the war years, Ken's father had taken in German prisoners of war to work on the farm and bombs were dropped in neighbours fields when the Rolls Royce Crewe Works target was missed.
|
| Ken had two brothers and in 1962 a neighbouring farm of 80 acres was bought and worked together as a mixed enterprise of dairy cows, pigs, battery hens and turkeys. In the late 1970s' the pig and hen enterprises were dispensed with when no longer profitable on a small scale. In the early 1980s' turkey production ceased when the consumers preferred cheaper frozen supermarket birds. In 1981 a third farm was bought, Ken taking over Fields farm in 1992 when the family partnership was dissolved, now being an all dairy enterprise with 70 milking cows and 30 young stock on 86 acres. Due to a downturn in dairy industry, pressure to expand and no available local labour, milk production ceased in 2001. Eileen has a life long interest
in sport, being Secretary of the Market Drayton Tennis Club, kenn
badminton player and keep fit enthusiast and a long-standing
