Worried new tomato grower!
I'm new to growing tomatoes. I live in Northern Indiana. My plants have grown very well. I have one problem and that is the leaves on my tomato plants are turning yellow with black spots.Is this a fungus? Should I prune them off? I would be sick if I were to lose them! Any help would be appreciated.

I looks like septoria leaf spot (fungal) but could also be bacterial speck or some others.
Septoria usually hits the oldest lower leaves first. Its best to remove the infected leaves, and you can spray with daconil fungicide to help prevent further infection. The spores are in the soil and splash up when it rains.
