It's called Clopyralid and others.  I lost 2 ac of veg and herbs to this via composted goat manure about 4 years ago. 

Here's a great article on that.  Ohio State University. "Clopyralid and Other Pesticides in Compost"  Retrieved from http://ohioline.osu.edu/aex-fact/0714.html

I don't know but if you used dairy screenings or other types of manure, there is a pervasive herbicide that stays in the manure even after long periods of time and will kill plants, are the tomato leaves small and tightly curled this is an indication of this herbicide, which name I can't remember. So it would be a good idea to take a soil sample as well as a plant to the extension agent. Carol Thomas, Sweet Briar Herb Farm
