Is there a farming app that works in Shager City?

Divisi does. It reads Shager City's own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average, so the planting dates and crop shortlist on this page are the same ones the app works out for a field here — then dates each job for that field, and keeps working with no signal.

Is this exact for my own field?

No — these are readings taken across Shager City, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
