Val-Add Service Corp. was founded in 2000 after its creator Steve Sershen successfully assisted a group of farmers near Chester, SD develop a new ethanol business and build their ethanol plant. That plant operates today as Dakota Ethanol in Wentworth, SD. As the ethanol industry began its growth in 2000 and 2001, the expertise gained while developing some of the early ethanol plants was in demand and Val-Add Service Corp. grew and expanded its project development expertise into a variety of value added agricultural ventures. In the past several years Val-Add Service Corp. has assisted in the development of more than 20 ethanol plants in eight states, as well as working with projects as diverse as biodiesel production, soybean crushing, egg-laying, beef processing, fish farming, and dairy production. The combination of project management skills, new entity structure and development experience, along with backgrounds in finance and agricultural business has provided Val-Add Service Corp. a unique ability to analyze and assist new business ventures. By the end of 2006 Val-Add Service Corp. had helped develop over One Billion Dollars in new value-added agricultural ventures.
