Right? Spreadsheets have such a low barrier of entry. I use Google Sheets in a middle of a farm field to enter plant growing records on my cell phone. I don't even have good reception at times so the sheets are in offline mode; they'll synch when I get back to the house.
Crappy, crummy records are oftentimes better than no records. Farming is data-heavy and data-starved at the same. A learning cycle is a year, and one year is not like the other one.
