Southern Indiana Today

Congressman Mark Messmer has recently shared a series of posts on his social media platform, highlighting developments in Indiana’s agricultural sector and expressing his stance on international affairs.

On July 24, 2025, Messmer thanked federal officials for selecting Indiana as a hub location for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In his post, he wrote: "Thank you, @POTUS and @SecRollins, for selecting Indiana as one of @USDA’s hub locations! Hoosier farmers feed, fuel, & clothe not just Americans, but the world! We are grateful for the decision & will continue to work hard for you and this great country!" The USDA hubs are part of a broader effort to support agricultural innovation and sustainability across key regions in the United States.

Later that day, Messmer reported on local industry advancements by attending an event at Mt. Vernon. He stated: "Team Messmer was proud to join Randy Kron from @INFarmBureau and Matt Smorch from @CountryMark at Mt. Vernon to celebrate the completion of CountryMark's big investment for diesel fuel quality upgrades right here in Indiana!" This investment is aimed at improving fuel standards and supporting regional economic growth.

On July 25, 2025, Messmer addressed international issues by voicing support for Israel amid ongoing conflict. He posted: "Israel is fighting a war for its very existence against barbarous Hamas terrorism! I find it shameful that any country would choose to side with terrorists who are torturing hostages in their tunnels. Israeli citizens deserve to live in Peace. I stand with Israel. " His comments reflect ongoing debates among U.S. lawmakers regarding foreign policy in the Middle East.

Messmer represents Indiana in Congress and has been active in both state-level initiatives related to agriculture and national discussions about international security.
