Exports drive economic growth, and every year, the UK exports around £1.5 billion worth of red meat around the globe. In 2021, more than 550,000 tonnes of sheep meat, beef, and pork were shipped (according to AHDB analysis of trade data from IHS Maritime & Trade – Global Trade Atlas – HMRC). AHDB's Market Intelligence and Exports teams are collaborating to boost exports to current markets and explore new opportunities for UK agri-food over the next decade. Dr Phil Hadley, Director of International Development at AHDB, has been discussing this activity at various events, including the recent National Farmers Union (NFU) Conference and the Annual Meat Conference in Texas. In this episode, we discuss the recent mission to the US aimed at exploring opportunities for exporting UK lamb, beef, and pork. The mission centred around the Annual Meat Conference in Texas, where AHDB and exporters had the opportunity to network with over 1,500 meat professionals from across the US. The visit was a success and resulted in valuable connections with American buyers, potentially boosting red meat exports.

There is fresh blood in the living history community for the Seminole Wars. Two reenactors, Stephen and Paulette Dennis, entered the hobby in November at Florida Heritage Day at Dade Battlefield Historic State Park in Bushnell, Florida. When we say “fresh blood”, we are somewhat facetious. Stephen retired from the U.S. Navy after a quarter century and Paulette kept the home fires burning at the Dennis house. What they don't have in youth, they make up for with experience, knowledge, and a Florida heritage. Stephen dresses as an Army private of the 1830s, along with his wife, Paulette who takes on the appearance of an 1830s Pioneer matriarch. The Dennis' display the rations that Soldiers would have eaten on the march. They assiduously followed the recipe compiled by our own Jerry Morris, who penned a short booklet, An Army Moves on Its Stomach, for the Seminole Wars Foundation some years back. Stephen and Paulette have tailored their interpretation based on their own ancestors who fought in the Seminole Wars. Stephen joins us today to share what he knows about all this. Above, Stephen and Paulette Dennis in 1830s period attire kneaded and baked regulation-specific hard bread of the type that soldiers carried on the march. Below, Matt Milne and Stephen Dennis presented at 1830s Soldiers for Florida Heritage Day at the Dade Battlefield Historic State Park in November, 2022. Here, they convince two wary visitors, Molly and Iris Eldridge, into trying a sample. Moments before, the two Bushnell sisters had received red ochre Seminole facial war paint from Gunpowder Warrior (Steve Creamer). The presentation table of ingredients is based on Jerry Morris' booklet, An Army Moves on Its Stomach, a Seminole Wars Foundation publication. Stephen did not warn them about potentially losing any teeth. Oops. Host Patrick Swan is a board member with the Seminole Wars Foundation. This podcast is recorded at the homestead of the Seminole Wars Foundation in Bushnell, Fla.

Atlanta native Stephen Dennis began his musical journey several years ago as a guitarist and singer/songwriter breaking in on the local country music scene. After a few years of songwriting and worship leading at his church, Stephen’s life took a serious turn when his mom was diagnosed with cancer, and eventually went Home to be with the Lord. During this time, the song titled “She’s Strong” was birthed, which Stephen wrote and recorded in honor of his mom as he watched her fight her battle with God-given courage and grace. Although his popularity began growing significantly in the last year as the leader of the Stephen Dennis Band, Stephen has just recently decided to make some changes in his musical focus, which he shares about in detail with Terah during this interview, joined by band member Jasper Joyner. Connect with Stephen on Facebook.
