im not sure it will make it if it was already showing bad signs. if you fix it with tape when it happens it usually works, but after a little bit.........

turn the barley into beer

The stem will turn brown but as long as it heals back you will be fine.

How long
has it been flowering? If its almost done you may want to chop it down now. If
it's barley budding, you can try and fix it with some support and tape. However
if your halfway threw flowering, the stem break might be enough stress to freak
it out back in to veg mode.
