TsuDoNihm is quite correct regarding desalination not being realistic for agriculture. To put things into perspective, the various California desal plants produce 1,750, 000 gallons per day of fresh water. One inch of rain on ONE square mile equals 18,000,000 gallons, and there's 159,000 square miles in California.
We could increase fresh water production by 100 times, and it would amount to zero for agriculture.

Apparently there are already quite a few:
Active desalination plants
That helps for drinking water, but not for agricultural use.
