Herbicide on Tomato

This younger tomato plant absorbed some phenoxy herbicide showing up on a few leaves that are distorted. 2,4-D vapor drift is the usual agent. This amount will not cause much injury. In previous years, my whole plants were damaged to the point they never produced. Once it occurs, there isn't any cure. Prevention is the only solution.

Herbicide injury

This tomato, I've been growing in a 5 gallon bucket using only compost from the KSU beef unit compost. It has done poorly on account that there appears to be some residual herbicide in the compost. Note the distorted leaves. It does have a few tomatoes.
