John Mcnabb Obituary, Death – John McNabb, a prominent figure from Inkom, Idaho, passed away on April 2 at the age of 87, surrounded by family at his home. His legacy as a generous and innovative spirit is fondly remembered by those who knew him, as detailed in an obituary published by Wilks Funeral Home in Chubbuck, Idaho.

Renowned for his work in Eastern Idaho’s wheat, barley, and alfalfa fields, McNabb was an early adopter of the Guy-Swanson-manufactured Yielder no-till drill. His forward-thinking approach and business ventures bearing the McNabb name stand as a testament to his pioneering spirit in agricultural practices.

Notably, McNabb’s switch to No-Till, particularly with the Yielder drill, resulted in substantial savings of nearly $40 per acre. In a 2005 profile, he expressed his only regret was not embracing no-till sooner. McNabb’s impact extended beyond the fields; he cherished his role as a father, referring to his sons—John Jr., Bill, and Mike—as his greatest “crop.” To provide a firsthand account of McNabb’s journey, a 12-minute video captures his no-till story in his own words, underscoring the wisdom and innovation that marked his remarkable life in Idaho’s agricultural community.
