Can anyone tell me what in the heck is wrong with tomato plants. The fronts look good but the back and bottoms look like junk. They seem to be happy and are producing so I don't know. I don't think its blight but not sure. I only have this problem on 2 out of 6 plants and they are right next to each other.
Here is a happy front shot....

Let me mention I plucked off about 10 grasshoppers while I was out there taking these pictures.
It might be any one of several things, but it looks like bacterial canker

But it could just be a bit of early blight. It is rare for tomato plants to get through the season without light to moderate damage to the lower foliage. I would remove all of the infected leaves and clear out the inner and lower back leaves to let in more air flow.
