Anyone have any experience with this, or know where I can purchase some? The biomass production looks incredible and would increase the amount of fodder I can produce on my small homestead.

That looks like a c4 grass to me, I have no specifics on this grass but in general c4 grasses require lots of heat and good moisture to grow, under the perfect conditions though nothing I know of produces biomass as quickly as a c4 grass. The website you linked mentioned that this is a tropical grass, if you live in a more temperate region it would probably winter kill. There are a variety of c4 grasses for more temperate regions that can survive winter.

Did you ever get any further with investigating this?

Something must be done about this. Let's start by reading this tiny ad:
