      abstract = {Saline soils result in decreased crop growth and yield  with the potential for losing productive farm land.   Enterprise budget analysis was extended to include the  fixed costs of installing tile drainage to manage soil  salinity in the Red River Valley of North Dakota for corn,  soybeans, wheat, sugar beets, and barley.  Installing tile  drainage decreased per acre crop profitability from 19 to  49 percent.  Lost revenues were estimated to be $150  million due to 1.2 million acres of slightly saline soils  and 275,000 acres of moderate soil salinity.},
