What is previous crops? H/s or new? Seed treatment?

Could be several things including leaf stripe.

i think its leaf stripe

i had wheat last year and i left the straw ontop, no tilled beans into it. he planted wheat the field over. i am reading leaf stripe spreads via straw and soil it reaches about 10m into his field. also reading there are no fungicides for it. will get the leaves tested to make sure.

his field stretches further than mine - that wheat later is fine. so first thought was sprayer drift but i doubt it. i sprayed dual gold and sencor pre over a month ago.

edit: the rust on my finger i noticed but i had to grab a rusted fence to reach over to his side i assumed it was rust from steel haha i will check again thanks

yes, it only goes about 5-10m into his field from my boundary

i got the results back from the lab today they say its: Alternaria Infectoria

neighbor is arguing now the infection happened as a result of the leaf burn
