The leaves contain the toxing so anywhere the leaves shattered you can expect problems. I've been experimenting with different ways to kill it, so far I have had good success with glyphosate spiked with 2,4-D; 2,4-D then irrigate with dairy slurry and harvest the grass hay; mixed results with glyphosate alone (I have a hard time keeping my spray rate under 20 gpa, and chisel plowing doesnt fit my notil). Some great research out of Wisconsin on short rotations of alfalfa. Went to some sessions on it at the 2003 Alfafla Conference. Seems that at 6 weeks to 3 months it reduces stand life by 2 years, 3-6 month rotation reduced stand life by 1-2 years. I take 1 year out, maybe even a short year if it is a wet one. Trying some 8 mo rotational alfalfa now, just as an experiment of my own. That is if I get some rain..............
