Any nearby spraying lately? Unintentional drift?

No, there's no spraying anywhere near me. I think those plants may have been susceptible to problems because how crazy thick I seeded them.
I don't think it can spread on the seed. From what I've read, it's got to spread via bugs, and even at that, there's no grain production for miles and miles. I'm not overly worried about it, it's just odd that it popped up all of a sudden.
Barley yellow dwarf results from passive migrations of the winged form of the aphid vectors in cool (50° to 68° F), moist seasons. Aphid flights can be localized or when assisted by wind, can cover several miles. Disease symptoms usually occur about 2 weeks after infection and symptom expression is favored by bright, sunny weather. During late summer aphids migrate to early planted winter wheat with the migration usually stopping during fall.

I think I have similar issues with different plants in my plots but have never really given it much thought. You look at this stuff much more scientifically than I do. I'm more of a throw it out there and forget half of what I even planted. One of us will figure out the plotting and make improvements in quality and the other is me.

Before modern seeders were common, farmers used to broadcast 1/2 oats and 1/2 potash. No fertilizer bin needed.
Oats use a ton of potassium.
look at this pdf starting around page 70.
The year I don't buy a bag of oats is the year I stopped hunting....... Mix some into my rye plantings. They frost die, then make room for rye in the spring.

Yeah, I may have my hands full getting my winter trit going in October. I was out checking my residue layer this morning, and it's thick and tight. I think I'm going to try a normal rate of winter trit, and then a normal rate of spring barley when the snow melts. If i can get back to the same blend of standing summer residue, I won't make this mistake again.

IF you think you got some issues and want to invest the time and money to correct them, get a tissue nutrient sample done.
Is this the same place you have drainage issues? Some soil issues can be from too much moisture for too long.
Might be to late in the seaon to put out some fertilizer. Could try potash in one spot, nitrogen in another. IF you got a spot you need ot do active soil health building from a rather poor state, I don't think theres an issue giving if fertilizer a few years. Ben turning around some rather bad spots the past 3 years up at camp that way.
