Do hurricanes making landfall bring sea water in as rain? How does this affect soil, crops, infrastructure etc compared to normal rain?

When water evaporates it does not bring the salt with it into the atmosphere in any significant way. This means that the water in the clouds that is precipitating is going to generally be pure water (disregarding pollutants in the atmosphere). The salt does not evaporate because it has a very *very* low vapor pressure and does not easily become gaseous. Water, on the other hand, has a relatively high vapor pressure and evaporates readily.

This is is why salt water is ends up being in the ocean to begin with. The rivers and streams take the runoff with the minerals and bring them into the ocean. The water in the oceans will evaporate and start the cycle again.
