I did conclude this was herbicide. I shoveled dirt from a pathway where the ground was soaked with herbicide. I knew at the time I was taking a risk. It took me awhile to remember this. The herbicide soaked into the dirt last year and then I moved some of that dirt this winter. The plant is doing better now but the half life of the herbicide seems to be about 3 months. Probably won't be really good soil again until next year. It may not be healthy to eat these tomatoes.
