Every method of record-keeping works for a while. The honest question isn’t which is "best" in the abstract — it’s which one keeps working as a farm grows past one lot, past one season, past the point where memory alone was enough.
A notebook breaks the first time someone asks "what was our average price last quarter" and the answer requires re-adding thirty entries by hand. WhatsApp breaks when you need last April’s numbers and they’re buried in six months of unrelated chat. A spreadsheet breaks when it’s sitting on a laptop at home while you’re standing at the ramp with a dealer waiting.
The method that survives is the one that can be used in 20 seconds, standing in a field or at a ramp, and still produces a real total when someone asks a real question three months later. That’s a specific and fairly narrow requirement — which is exactly the gap a smallholder-specific app is built to fill, rather than a general-purpose spreadsheet or notes app adapted to the job.

SawitSync is built specifically for this — log at the ramp in 20 seconds, and the totals are already there when you need them.
