Tomato leaves turning yellow

I have 4 tomato plants... 2 plumb and 2 cherry as well as 12 cucumber, 6 zucchini & 2 bell pepper plants... I've been growing the same combination of plants for years without problems. However, this year the leaves on 2 of the tomatoes are yellow at the parts closest to the stems. All the other plants look healthy and are thriving. Any ideas or help is appreciated.

Someone used glyphosate nearby. It's the active ingredient in Roundup and more.

@kimmsr. . For the past month it's been between 65-80.. mostly mid 70's and humid. . Which I thought would be perfect for veggies. Before today there hasn't been too much rain... and I water every 3rd day or so depending on weather.

That bright yellow color is typical for glyphosate damage when applied during the growing season.

see this from Clemson University
