High Country News reports:
[...] Scotts got permission from the USDA to plant larger fields for seed production. Farmers sowed 80 acres of bentgrass in Canyon County, Idaho, and 420 acres in Jefferson County, Oregon, north of Bend. The Oregon Department of Agriculture picked the site - an irrigated island in the sagebrush sea - to keep the plant far from the Willamette Valley. There, on the western side of the mountains, farmers grow forage and turf grass for a $1 billion-a-year seed industry.
Then two windstorms swept through the eastern Oregon fields in August of 2013, scattering flea-sized seeds well beyond the designated control area. Roundup-resistant pollen fertilized conventional bentgrass plants as far as 13 miles away.

Funny, searching google for "bent grass grazing" comes up with a long string of articles about how to eliminate bentgrass from pasture land, and suggesting that it is of poor nutritional quality and inferior productivity. Perhaps you typo-ed?

Your second example isn't a good one. It says "Nimblewill (Muhlenbergia schreberi) is a wiry, upright growing warm-season perennial grass that looks similar to creeping bentgrass and Bermudagrass in structure" and nothing more about bentgrass.
