Pea blight

I have a problem with my Lincoln peas. When they are almost full grown and setting on peas, some start the lighten and turn white or yellow and then brown. The closest I could come up with is Ascochyta.
How do people on this forum treat this?
If it is a fungi, would composting with high heat (160 degrees) on the raised bed kill the spores?
If it is a fungi, is there a good way to treat the seed so we don't do it again the next year? I am using heirloom seeds and would like to keep saving the seeds?
Or is the only way to treat it through rotation onto a different bed?

I hope someone can answer this. I have no experience with blight (unless I just don't recognize it!).
