Microdata are a wonderful way of analyzing specific issues in an heterogeneous environment.

Brazil is wonderfully diverse country, and its countryside is also extremely heterogeneous.

We have technology and capacities to analyze bigdata as well as electronic data, but the agricultural censuses microdata are not available even for older days. We understand the official Brazilian Statistical Office, say IBGE, have shortness of public budget, has lost people and researchers may use its "closed" room to manipulate data at Rio de Janeiro.

But, in our digital era, why not have it in global clouds or in a way that researchers can use and find answers for the rural problemas we have?

How could Google, Microsoft and others help make it possible?
